Hi,
I'm looking for an online support group for narcissism related issues. Where/what would I put in the search bar to find this?
If one doesn't exist - what about for other topics? If I can check out how it all works maybe I could start one. Because obviously there's a gap which needs to be filled if it's not out there already!?
I had in mind something like AA...or NA...are there similar groups online for those who live remote?
If not & I wish to start one...how would I go about it. Just like a social group which meets, but online...via what platform?
I have tracked narcissism as the cause of my issues & of environmental issues currently destroying our planet (capitalism = narcissism). It's a really important issue both personally & culturally.
Thank you for reading & replying.

Hi there ChrissyStar,
Welcome to the forum. I am not sure I can complete answer your question but possibly can point you in a few directions to explore.
I went to the search bar at the top of the page and searched for 'NDP' and there are several threads here on the forum where you may be able to read more from others experiences. I did not find any mention of a specific support group.
I did a search on Facebook and found the 'The Australian Narcissistic Support and Recovery Group'. You would require a Facebook account to access this. This is a public group with hundreds of members. This may be a good place to start your search.
Another possibility is to go to the social platform called 'MeetUp' where several types of groups get started but generally these are face to face meetings. You can have a look by www.meetup.com to see if this is the right platform for this type of group initiation. I know there are groups on there for people with anxiety or depression but not sure about NPD.
Another place to source information about these groups is a via a project called Project Air. https://projectairstrategy.org/index.html
The Project Air Strategy for Personality Disorders is an internationally recognised leader in research, education and treatment. We partner with health, justice, communities, schools, families and individuals. We bring new scientific discoveries to promote recovery.
We work with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD), and Paranoid, Schizoid, Schizotypal, Histrionic, Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorders.
Finally, I know that in some outpatient hospital settings there are groups that are run for people with Personality Disorders. It may be worth recommending this type of group to be started in your local health centre.
I am not sure if this has helped but I hope it gives you some ideas to explore. I wish you the very best in getting this up and running as you are quite correct in that this is not enough support in this area available.
Wishing you the best possible outcome,
Nurse Jenn

Hi Chrissy,
I am interested.
How can we do it?
Keep me in the loop, please.
