Anyone who deals with anxiety and depression on a regular basis know how debilitating it can be.  It can create fear, a lack of confidence, and be emotionally draining to the point it becomes a battle just to get though each day. Sometimes a really simple task such as getting dressed in the morning can feel like a huge win.

It can also bring with it lots of little quirks such as checking the hob is turned off numerous times, a fear of going out alone, making sure the door is locked over and over again etc.  Many people feel they are completely alone when dealing with these quirks or worry they have OCD, but the one thing the talk groups we run have taught us is that you’re not alone, and all these little things are common for people suffering with anxiety and depression.
