Dear AndreLB~
Welcome to the Support Forum. I'm sorry to hear anxiety has been such a large part of your life, as someone also with an anxiety condition I can well imaging what you go though.
I'm afraid members of the Forum are not in a position to suggest particular support groups however all is not lost.
Firstly the Black Dog Institute has a listing of support groups by state, though it is a bit brief. If they a group that is not in your own area it might still be worth contacting that group to see if they know of a closer one
Secondly you can contact our own 24/7 Help Line who may be able to make suggestions
And lastly here in the Forum we have a very long thread where people say what has assisted them. Although long I've found it very helpful :

I've linked you to the end of the thread but you can go back and start at page 1. The poster who started it, A Grace, has some good ideas.
I hope this is of some help
