Support with Anxiety

Posted By jackpotpd64

"Support with Anxiety"

About: Community Mental Health / Move Ahead - Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Service

(as a service user),

I have suffered from anxiety following an illness a number of years ago. I had managed to cope without support but then everything got on top of me.

After relapsing again my GP referred me to the MoveAhead team.

The support I have received from Leanne is allowing me to move forward at my own pace. She gives me the chance to talk through everything and suggest ideas to help me move forward.

I know this is a slow process but I never feel pressured to do anything I am not ready to try.

Dear jackpotpd64,

Thank you very much providing feedback regarding your experience of MoveAhead. My name is Pam Lamond and I am the Senior Charge Nurse for MoveAhead.

I am sorry to hear that suffered from anxiety following an illness some years ago. That must have been very hard for you, feeling anxious and coping with an illness. It sounds like you had been coping well then things became difficult for you again. Anxiety can be a very difficult emotion to cope with and I am sorry to hear that you relapsed.

However, I am glad to hear that your GP referred you to MoveAhead and that Leanne has been supportive in helping you move forward in your recovery at your own pace. It is so important that you feel in control of your plan at MoveAhead which will hopefully support you move forward when you feel ready to do so. It is good to hear that you don’t feel pressurised and that Leanne gives you a chance to talk through things that may help. I will be sure to pass on your kind feedback to Leanne who seems to be alongside you on your recovery journey.

Thanks you so much for taking time to feedback your views and share your experiences; it is very important to us to hear individual’s personal stories.

Pam Lamond
