Are you looking for depression group therapy meetups and support groups for anxiety and depression in the New York City area? We are also serving New Jersey residents (via telehealth online). When people are feeling anxious, sad or depressed it may make them feel as though nowhere makes them feel comfortable. This may cause them to not want to leave their home, further isolating themselves, which can make them feel worse.

Also dealing with ongoing anxiety issues can lead to secondary depression where you experience the following: hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, restlessness, indecisiveness, weightloss / weight gain, insomnia, worthlessness, fatigue, and lack of enjoyment in life, all of which can impact your day to day functioning. 

The pandemic and smartphones enabled this isolation even further as people did not need to leave the house to work remotely, order takeout, groceries, or even attend virtual doctor appointments. The problem is being alone with your thoughts may lead to a continuing cycle of negative ruminating thoughts.
