[DariaFae]

Stumbled across this looking for local support groups. I'm going through medication changes and not feeling very well overall. In the Pittsburgh Pa region if anyone knows of a real place for me to fit in. I have been looking for support for years now for my mental well being. I have noone my kid bearly talks to me.

Welcome to the community

I'm not familiar with your area. Do you have a primary care Dr that may have recommendations

Hi and welcome! As well as NAMI check with your county. I'm outside Philly and a while ago found a group through my county. For an online weekly Zoom group there's LiveWellFoundation. They have a few different groups during the week. They have really good moderators.

I don’t live in your area but you can try NAMI for support

Also perhaps local church groups

Finding a group/class of something you like might help

Those people have the same interest

Ex- garden club, yoga, walking, art, photography etc

I’ve had anxiety/depression since childhood

I’m in my 50’s now and doing very well

For me- managing my illness requires a plan

Sunlight, walk/exercise, therapist, meds, routine, friend time, journaling, support system, purpose and spiritual life

When I feel off kilter it’s usually because I am lacking in some of these areas and I have to evaluate what’s out of whack and how to fix it

You are worth it, hang on

Wishing you brighter days ahead 🌸☀️🌼
