New here and unsure what I’m after

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and am unsure what I’m after from these forums.

It might be helpful to read some light-ish success stories? As in, to see what sorts of things people are getting out of posting in/reading the forums.

I’ve typically avoided online forums because I’ve wanted a face-to-face group interaction, but I can’t find any in my area. There was only one that went for 8 weeks — kind of like a course. It was great, but it ended. I wish there was something like AA, but for PTSD/Depression/Anxiety where people could rock up every week if they feel like it and just be around people who “get it”, you know?

Anyway, I think maybe after all that’s what I’m looking for here. A place to drop in and just be with those who understand.

Also, if anyone knows where I could search for face-to-face groups (or knows of any), please do tell. I’d be very grateful.

Ru.

Hi Ru, if you copy and paste 'face to face groups for depression' the first link 'National help lines and websites for depression and anxiety' will appear, click on that and BB provides you with different places.

My Wishes.
