Support meetings

[Christmas02]

I am looking for support group meetings I can attend. I’m not so fond of this way. I want to sit in a meeting and talk to people. I hope someone can help me

it depends on what groups your interested in .....self help.... groups with special interests.... There is the MeetUp group for everyone with all kinds of interests. There are many self help groups....and you can finds meetings and times and locations,

I guess I’m looking for meetings for depression (is this considered self help)? I’m taking my meds but I’m looking for a therapist or meeting because I have no insurance in 8 days so I’m trying to find something that doesn’t cost. I guess what I’m thinking is like a NA or AA meetings. Plus talking to people like me.

yes it is ..... and if you look up meetings in your area I am sure you'll find something, many are 12 step based, but don't worry, it's not a cult or religion, it's other people just trying to get help. NAMA is a group.....I don't know anything about them much but I have heard others talk about it here.

No I don’t need na or aa I was using that as an example. I’m looking for meetings for depression and anxiety.

12 step meetings are not only about NA or AA, neither of which I was suggesting as you did not say you had those issues....there are meetings for everything self help orientated based on 12 step.... I also went to ACOA to help me with my childhood issues including my emotional abandonment stuff....they have various groups and it's worth checking out what might be out there, ....best wishes to you and happy holidays
