Any good online support groups?

I'm looking for a weekly support group online and can't find anything. I currently attend a NAMI group and looked for a second one, but every group either doesn't meet online or has outdated info. It seems there's no online support groups out there at all. What can I do?

Yes. I think I would really benefit from an in person or virtually support group and have been unable to find one. I wish that I could find a sponsor in my journey to get better. I confess that I've even though of joining Alcoholics Anonymous because of their many options for groups and my inability to find a group for depression. (I used to abuse alcohol in the past, but I am ok now with a drink or teo every couple weeks or so.) Why is help so darned hard to find? I will sadly echo your what can I do question. And with that, I remember that my insurance company has some support groups - I need to look those up. Thanks.

Sunrisetabby did you know they have a group Emotions Anonymous? "Emotions Anonymous was formed by a group of individuals who found a new way of life by working the Twelve-Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, as adapted for people with emotional problems." — Preface of Emotions Anonymous. They have both in person and remote/virtual meetings. I have not tried it myself, but I have heard about it and thought I would share in case you haven't heard about it yet.

Thanks, Gajh! I had not heard of Emotions Anonymous and look forward to reading more about their program! Unfortunately there are not any impression meetings near me.

Try Livingwell foundation.com. They have weekly zoom meetings and are really good. I haven't been on for a while but I have suggested them to others and they really liked the groups. Very well organized, great moderators.
