We are a self-help support group for people affected by Panic and/or Anxiety, and their related disorders, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We meet in an informal talker program to share recovery techniques and learn from each other. If you live with these disorders, whether you are the one suffering, or are a support person for a loved one who is suffering, you have come to the right place to find others who understand what you are going through.
Anxiety Neighborhood is a talker, a much more fun program than a simple chat room. Meeting and communicating with others is still the main part of what goes on here but you can also move from room to room, look around, create your own room with art, and talk, ... all manner of social activities which some anxiety sufferers rarely get to have in real life and which add to the enjoyment and special nature of this program.
AN is designed for anxiety support and everyone here suffers from it (either themselves or someone close to them), so please feel free to bring up these topics anywhere in the program, anytime. You'll find you have a willing and sympathetic audience, with their own experiences and thoughts to share.
There is no charge to join or participate in Anxiety Neighborhood. The talker is open 24 hours a day, however, there are certain days and times that are more busy than others so you will want to consult our chat schedule or ask other residents when the most active times are.
