Have you or someone you love been diagnosed with a mental illness or other condition such as depression or social anxiety?...It is even harder to be a young adult and be living with this. I am a 25 year old female living with Manic Depression and offer support and education to others like me!
I am also dedicated to a healthy lifestyle and making active choices that benefit my health and happiness overall!
Come and be free to discuss mental illness in a group setting of supportive, non-judgemental and most of all Confidential peers!

New Greeting for“Hi Vanessa, Thanks for your greeting. I can totally relate with you about the friend thing. One of the reasons I joined this meetup group is that I am looking for other people coping with stuff too. I am currently a student pursuing a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy so my schedule is pretty open. Send me an email if you would like to chat or meetup for coffee some time. I am open to driving out to Torrance or meeting somewhere in between if that works for you. [masked]”posted by Lealah

“I need friends that understand me more and that I can relate to. I feel very isolated. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of great friends. I just need some that "get" me. A lot of my friends are having babies and I feel the distance between us.”
