Now the calendar of events which the PMHG produces has a long list of events/meetings/organisations etc.. The vast majority I have no knowledge of and while I may get round to listing some here it will always be with the warning that I have no idea what the event etc. is like.
But this is an exception. It is also quite different from the other things I have posted about so far.
This is a support group set up - years ago - by a couple of people in Erdington. It consists very simply of a group of people with depression getting together for a couple of hours and talking about their experiences and trying to support one another. I can't really recommend this one enough if you are a depressive, especially if you are feeling down, having a bad day, week, month, year.
The original Erdington Group meets on the third Wednesday of every month in Erdington Library at 11.00 (you need to go to the side-door and which is in the car park - entrance between the library and the chip shop - and ring the bell).
But there are now meetings in other areas - on the first Wednesday of every month at 11.00 in the Central Library in Room 5b on the fifth floor.
-on the last Wednesday of the month at 11.00 in Stirchley Community Centre, Pershore Street.
Personally I only go to the Erdington one but several people go to all three and I am sure they are all good.
I haven't been for one reason or another for a few months but hope to go to the Erdington one next week (21st March).
As I said before this one comes highly recommended if you fall into the affected category.

I found that everyone had different stories/experiences and coping stratergies and wellness ideas etc. Afterwards a few of us used to go for a coffee and swop phone numbers etc.
