Online Peer Support
This can be tricky. Surviving Antidepressants is the oldest forum on this topic, but it's closed to new registrations. There's a new forum at antidepressantrecovery.org. There are various large groups on Facebook, but they vary widely in helpfulness, and there are lots of words you can't say because of Meta's terms of service.
I offer peer support group calls here, and Angie Peacock also runs wonderful group calls. Please join my email list to be the first to know about these and other support options!
