I have been recently hospitalized After your time is up they send you to a day program for a few weeks. After that your on your own. I don’t me your on your own with the m deal part .. yes you have your psychiatrist and your therapist... but when I was in the hospital for attempted suicide. We did a lot of group therapy and I found that listening to people who are depressed and suffer from anxiety and have mental illness I relate to so much and it helps me to hear their stories.
So I tried to find group therapy in my area which is Dallas Texas .They don’t exist. If you have substance abuse. Your set you can find groups anywhere. It would be nice to have some free groups where people can get together to talk about there’re stories just like AA and maybe we could even create a sponsor for our group the way AS does it. Anyway I will keep searching and bringing it up . Maybe one day some will listen.
Finally have a Mental Health Appointment 
New To Group/Health Anxiety
COVID19 and my mental health
My job is killing my mental health
Mental health is an excuse
I agree with you. There needs to be more support groups out there for those suffering in any way. This online forum is a good start but a more in-person group can definitely have its benefits. I was also just recently hospitalized and am looking for the same thing. Guess I’ll see if there’s anything in my area and go from there. Until then, I’ll keep using this online support group. It can help; even if only slightly.
I’ll definitely let you know what I find. I’m in Dallas where are you?
