Social Anxiety Support

silvergyrl · 11-20-2008, 06:35 AM

I've noticed many people on here are from the states. Anyone currently in MB?

Noca · 11-20-2008, 06:42 AM

Your the first person I've seen in 3 years from MB

michellejl · 11-20-2008, 11:28 PM

There is no one from Saskatchewan either that I'm aware of. There was 1 person from my city and we met shortly after I joined this site, and we still kind of stay in touch. I wish more people would join though!

I'm in Ontario....hi fellow snow bunnies!

My problem with group therapy is that I've sent some of my students there to get help, so I can't very well be sitting there with them! any ideas?

silvergyrl · 11-26-2008, 05:28 AM

Are there any other groups available? Or just the ones you've sent your students to? I guess if that makes you uncomfortable, you could always just talk one on one with a psychologist, or even spend more time on here.

Hello there all, I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba as well. I was wondering if there was any other people from Manitoba on here.

For some resources on social anxiety, there is ADAM, at http://www.adam.mb.ca/. They have support groups every so often, I attended one a few years back. It was good, but certainly didn't cure everything for me. I guess you get out of it what you put in or something.

Jinnix · 12-02-2008, 03:34 PM

I used to live in Winnipeg..

pita · 12-02-2008, 04:01 PM

I used to live in Headingley in the early 90's.

I miss MB.

Mr Deuce · 12-09-2008, 03:20 PM

I lived in Grand Forks, ND for 5 years. It's only about 1 hour south of the Manitoba border.

Red Sun · 12-29-2008, 05:45 PM

Hey everyone, I live in Winnipeg.

*puts on a Guy Maddin flick for all of us to depress together with*

static.unknown · 12-30-2008, 10:34 PM

Oh, a Guy Maddin fan here. I watched The Saddest Music in the World a little while ago. It was quite interesting. Very surreal.

Nice to meet all you Winnipegers and Manitobians

.

Red Sun · 12-30-2008, 10:38 PM

I haven't seen Saddest Music In The World yet. My favourite is Brand Upon The Brain! I saw it performed live at the New Music Festival this year with Isabella Rossellini narrating. Felt like the story of my life.

He teaches classes at the U of M. Sometimes I go and sit in, he shows old movies a lot.

So... let's all talk about how cold it is then, shall we?

static.unknown · 12-30-2008, 11:46 PM

Brand Upon The Brain, that sounds interesting as well. And silent too. Seeing it live must have been pretty exciting then. The story of your life

.

I take it you go to U of M than as well. Doing a degree in film studies? I'm doing a degree in computer science, so I don't see much of the arts buildings that often :P. Anyone else here go to the U of M?

Yeah, that weather. Go outside and pretty much freeze your face off. So cold your breath turns to ice crystals and starts snowing down :P. I don't know how anyone here stands it. Extra-thick skin (and coats) I guess

.

Red Sun · 12-31-2008, 11:42 AM

lol. They actually had live foley artists and the WSO was performing the soundtrack, so it wasn't truly silent haha. Far from it.

I'm an alumnus. But my room mate is still in school, so we live close by and I still hang out there. Well, when the weather's warm

_Mouse_ · 01-15-2009, 11:10 AM

i'm from winnipeg! Would be great to connect with other winnipeggers.
I looked into the Adam organization, but i'm really hoping to find a free support group where people can bring there experiences and triumphs to the table. Who knows, maybe if we have enough people we can start our own free support group and help other people.

As you know this can destroy your life, like it has mine. Just now starting to look for resources and fight against "the monsters in my mind".

Red Sun · 01-18-2009, 08:03 PM

Hi _Mouse_,

There is a 6 week discussion group which meets at the University of Manitoba on Wednesdays. It just started up again last week, here is a link for more information:

static.unknown · 01-18-2009, 08:27 PM

Oh, are you in that Red Sun? I actually was thinking of going to that group at the U of M, but I have classes during that time. I've been to other groups at the U of M, and they're pretty good. I would recommend it.

Red Sun · 01-18-2009, 08:30 PM

No I'm not in it since I work during the day. But I have been to some of the other groups too and I found them good as well!
