i was wondering if there are actual support groups on Sunshine Coast for people struggling with depression loss of relationship home and belongings. Wanting to start again

its very hard when you try to converse with non like minded people because all everyone talks about are their possessions. And I have lost them all and it would be good to talk to people with no judgement and genuinely want to listen and maybe provide any ideas they have experienced

i'd be very greatful for any suggestions 💞

Hi wantingtogetbetter

We can't really suggest support groups but we can offer support on the forums. It is hard to keep track of all the support groups out there. I suggest discussing it with your doctor as they know of local support groups for specific conditions. Also google can be helpful at finding support groups but I know lots of support groups reach out to doctors practises.
