Hi, I'd just like to echo the sentiments of everyone else that was at the meeting. I'm 25 and this problem has been driving me nuts for years. I've finally now got a gameplan for getting back on top of this thing and have been feeling a lot more confident about my ability to beat it. It was great to finally meet some people with the same problem. I knew they existed in theory but to turn up and not see a bunch of weirdos, just normal guys was a relief! It may sound strange to some who may read this but I really enjoyed the wole process of the workshop and it has given me some rational evidence to rely on when I'm having any difficulties. If you are out there reading this and considering going to one yourself just do it. I put it off for at least 3 or 4 years because I hoped it would go away or I was embarrased and if I'd gone then I'd probably have won the battle by now. I'm not saying it wasn't a nerve racking decision but it was one of the best I've made in a long time. Everybody there is in the same boat and you won't find more supportive people to help you! Do it!
