Hello! I am new to the group and I was wondering if there is any online/zoom support groups for anxiety!

Anything would be helpful thank you

Welcome to the community. This is an anonymous site so we don't have online meetings.

I honk others know of some. They may come along and let you know

Hi Dolphin, Got my head bitten off for calling this an anonymous site. From what I understand, even if the post is locked, which this one isn't yet, it can still be searched. hypercat54 is the one with the true skinny.

It is an anonymous site in the sense we all use alias's. If a post is locked then only the first 245 characters go viral and none of the replies. However anyone who is a member of HU can still read them in full there.

However anyone who isn't can't and would need to join first. That does provide more privacy for those who respond.

I hope you are ok my friend? x

I'm hanging in there, thank you. The humidity has been high for several days so I have a few more pains.

I've been distracting myself with some new animal videos:

NBB I'm sorry your head got bitten

It is called an anonymous site because we don't use our names or share personal information like phone numbers etc etc Being on a zoom call might give away some of our identity? I think? Lol

That's the anonymity I focus on more than the web.

Me too! Ow!

You know me and my bad attitude about smart phones? I found a huge up side today. My husband played a video of a pair of Green-cheeks chattering happily, and propped it up where Tara could see. Wonderful. She loved it. ☺️🦜

Oh sweet Tara! I love it. Did she shake her feathered booty?

NAMI National Alliance on Mental Illness offers online support groups. nami.org/Support-Education/...

Here is a great place to chat with people too. There is a lot of support available here.

I have been in touch with peer mentors of NAMI since 2020. It is a great outlet for me to use as support for my mental health issues.

[Nothing_but_books in reply to Shnookie]

I'd love to try this, but there's never anything anywhere near me. So frustrating.

[Shnookie in reply to Nothing_but_books]

Please try what Bethelbee suggested below. Also if you have health insurance check to see under their mental health department if they offer hotlines or other types of services.

Aside from NAMI you can also go to LiveWell-Foundation.org. They have several weekly zoom peer support groups for anxiety and depression. I was involved with them for a while and they were really helpful. The moderators were great. Check them out.

Thanks for sharing that info bethelbee. I did not know that. :)xx

[bethelbee in reply to Agora1]

You're welcome, Agora I have frequently commented about LiveWell-Foundation on others' posts. Everyone was really nice and as I stated the moderators were great. 😊
