[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 727165, member: 22632"] Thank you susiestar, your words mean a lot. I have looked up the nearest nar-Anon group, there aren’t many groups here in the UK but there’s one in another city that’s an hours train ride away so it’s do-able. I have texted the organiser about it and plan to attend the next time I can which is in around 2 weeks (I’m a nurse so I will only be able to attend when my shifts allow). I did go for support locally a couple of years ago and did mindfulness. I was offered group support then but declined as I felt it was very possible I would know people in the group from working in mental health - I hadn’t even told my closest friends at this point and didn’t feel able to attend. Also, my son was living at home at this point and I was in the thick of it, My thoughts weren’t really for myself, I wanted to know how I could stop him, I was desperate. I keep repeating to myself the words another forum user says - Nothing changes if nothing changes. He has no intention of changing but I must change. The anxiety spoils the days when nothing has even happened. I can’t go on this way so I have to do something about it for myself. [/QUOTE]
