The primary goal of this thread is for south asian members of this forum to come together and find each other. The secondary goal, for those who are willing and comfortable, is to form a peer-driven support group local to your region.
It goes without saying, navigating severe mental and physical afflictions on our lonesome is really difficult. Even if one is getting professional help, the lack of a social support system outside the clinic hinders the recovery process a lot. Given that there's a dearth of such support groups being organized in our part of the world, I figured we should start somewhere.
So if you are interested in connecting with your fellow south asians at all, just comment where you are from and what you are seeking.
This could be anywhere from casual conversation, making friends, getting an accountability partner, to forming an online support group if you feel comfortable enough.

I'll start off, my name is Ace and I am from India. I suffer from TRD and OCD. I'd like to befriend fellow south asians who are dealing with similar deabilitating illnesses. The eventual goal is to form an online support group where we can speak freely about our lives and offer each other solidarity. More details about me in my Recovery Partners post. Feel free to comment if you'd like to get in touch.
