Re: Support groups
Hi @Moni1
Welcome to the Forums. We are an anonynous forum, so people won't be able to share support groups they attend - but people are welcome to recommend organisations or places to start looking.
Just to clarify, were you looking for a support group for your own depression and anxiety or are you a carer of someone with depression and anxiety, so are looking for a support group for carers?
Take care,
Nik

Re: Support groups
One organisation that comes to mind is ARAFMI Hunter. They are an organisation who aim to help carers of people with a mental illness. On their website their is a page for local support groups - which I hope you find helpful!
And of course you can use these forums as a type of support group - obviously it's not face to face - but it's here 24/7 if you ever want to drop by
