Stress Center Peer Support

CAn anyone tell me if there is a center to check into to get rid of these panic attacks?....

Sandy,
Im sure there must be support groups in your area, check your mental health services, and your local hospitals. They even have patient care some places for anxiety. I wish i could say its easy to get rid of but it isnt. It takes lots of hard work, and retraining your thinking. Take Care:)Nelly

Here are some places for support.

Hope this helps!

Wow! You're such a savy web searcher!

Now this question's a bit more difficult: Anyone know of any support groups in Montreal, Canada?

I've only managed to find about three or four at most.

just wondering if anyone knows of any groups in or around boston mass???

I have heard great things about Rcovery, INc. Here's the webpage to find one near you:http://www.recovery-inc.com/meetings.html

hello boston !
i am a 23 yr female musician that just moved to boston. i'm looking to start some sort of group or find someone that i could relate to about anxiety and encourage each other andhelp each other along. i live in back bay. there are many people with with anxiety but not many that are working the program so please feel free to contact me! ldunbar@berklee.net

My name is Connie, I purchased the program and listen to the CD's over and over. They are very helpful, but I really would be interested in some sort of weekly group meeting with others who are struggling with anxiety and stress disorders in Maryland. Does anyone know of any groups in the Baltimore, Maryland area?
