How do you get support if you don't have it?

[aubree512]

I've had anxiety and depression for many years and have been looking for support in my family that's been in and out of my life since I was 16 and can't get any healthy support so I can't talk to them about anything. My husband says he can't be emotionally supportive of me. I'm broke and it's been a long process trying to get a therapist. Any support places to go?

Hey, I found this website that could help you find support groups in your area if you're in the US adaa.org/supportgroups. You can also google "support groups near me for anxiety/depression" which is what I did. I hope you find the help, a therapist, and support you need and deserve. And keep us updated

Hope you have a good day

Hi aubree512!

Is it possible you can connect with a really close friend and confide in them? I understand the financial situation, but there are other ways to try and manage your anxiety, and I've been trying to do this on my own as well. Perhaps you can start journaling? picking up a new hobby? read a really good book? practice mediation/ deep breathing? get a family pet? I think the important thing to do is to stay busy and remind yourself WILL be okay. Please don't allow yourself to accept this and do nothing about it, you have to try EVERYTHING in your power to combat this. We all have bad days, its important though to get back on the horse the next, or the following day if you're not up for it.

Keep us updated if you've found a support group or if you've made any progress!
