My anxiety and depression

Posted By cafeqs83

"My anxiety and depression"

About: South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust / Condition Management Programme

(as the patient),

When my own doctor wanted to put me on the Condition Management Programme, I was very unsure , was this another treatment that will not work. I was so wrong at the start I a would not leave the house, did  not want to talk to anyone . After 12 appointments I go out enjoy walking and even say hello to people I meet . I am not saying it was easy but week by week started the change the way I look at myself and my anxiety and depression after 12 weeks I have the tools to face what lays ahead . I still have a way to go but no long what to hide away and think life is not worth it . Condition Management Programme is the best programme I have ever done I highly recommend it.
