I've never been in support group. Social anxiety and depression, getting worse as I age. Dont have many people the understand what is going on with me. I'm kinda lost.

Welcome to the group !

You will find a lot of support here

Getting medical help is always a good idea ! I am also part of a Peer to Peer support support group that meets every week through an organization called NAMI . They offer all kind of support: classes , weekly meetings etc

You are not alone ! You can text me any time ❤️

I'm married 20yrs, 2 boys getting ready to pursue their adulthood. I've been seeing a awesome counselor, which is helping me get understanding and educates me. She's the one who suggested me get on the support group.

I am glad to hear that you have an amazing counselor !

I also feel that my metal illness has got worse as I age , so I can totally relate .

Hi there, amazing one! I know what you mean. I got to the point where I didn't even want to go out, or go to parties, or even meet with friends. I'd cancel everything. You are not alone, don't forget that. And you should be proud of yourself for reaching out... that is one of the hardest things to do. I am now fully healed of anxiety and depression, and you can be too! <3
