I found a support group!

Happy Friday Everyone! I just wanted to share that I found an Anxiety/Depression/OCD support group that has a standing meeting every week and I attended last night. It was amazing!! It gave me some human interaction I have been craving. This forum has been great and so helpful, but I knew that in addition to this, I wanted a group where I can hear people talk. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I’m fitting it into my weekly schedule and hope to become a regular in the group. Have you ever tried support groups? I’ll continue to update here. So far, I think the group will be a great fit and incredibly helpful ☺️

Excellent! Im curious on how you found the support group and us there a cost and how much?

I found it from a website someone shared on here! iocdf.org/ocd-finding-help/...

The group I attended was completely free and I believe most of them are. I saw a few with a reasonable cost around $5-7. There are many different types of groups and some are in-person, some are virtual. I highly recommended looking through that list! ☺️

Sounds great! I would love to find one, and have enjoyed Emotions Anonymous in the past. How do they format their meetings?

I think it can vary group to group, but the meeting I was in was mainly an open floor. So, if you wanted to share you could and if not you could just listen in. They also opened the floor after every share for people to give feedback or speak on how they can relate ☺️ I would think most meetings would be formatted this wa, but I’m not certain! Definitely look at the details of each meeting on that website because many of them state what their format looks like so you go into it knowing!
