In reply to New, would anyone care to talk to me?, posted by Surely on January 18, 2005, at 19:48:35
Hello, Surely, and welcome.
As I guess you've noticed by now, Babble has an absolute ton of boards and can be more than a bit confusing, but there are lots of nice interesting people, and I've found it to be a place to find support and companionship. The Social board is a particularly good place for that since the topics of conversation are really wide ranging. Dr. Bob monitors the other boards to make sure they stay more or less on topic.
I saw your post on the Newbie board. It must be very frustrating to have such limited access to services. I know I'm very fortunate to live in an area with a lot of therapists of various sorts, though we certainly aren't cutting edge in my area of the country. Are you from the US? (I ask because there are many here who aren't.) There are a fair number of good self help books, although that's not the same thing at all as therapy. I think I saw you mentioned anxiety. Have you seen "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" ? My therapist used it with me, and it did a reasonably good job of bringing my OCD under control.
