my therapist recommended an in person support group, and after being on here i'm pretty fond of the idea, but now with covid that's pretty unlikely.

thank you so much!

relevant info: child of a former alcoholic/full time helicopter mom whose childhood trauma has shaped her world outlook and my life, heavily enmeshed relationship. looking to establish a healthy relationship with myself, maintain reasonable emotional boundaries, and develop and internal compass so that i can lead a full and inspired life that i choose and am responsible for.

I would look at supportgroupscentral

They have a variety of groups available. Maybe they can help you.

Look for a site called " in the rooms " if its still active. It was all 12 step.

SMART Recovery doesn't have video chat? I'm surprised.

Try Psych Central. They have a lot of topics.

NAMI has real-time online chat, but you need to be a member. You can join for $5.

Also try meetup.com . This is free. My location has 2 anxiety and depression groups and weekly video chats.

Stay safe.
