Making Friends with Similar Disorders

How do yall go about making friends with the same or similar disorders? As much as I love my friends, a lot of the time I wish I had at least a few friends going through what I am so I KNOW they definitely understand

Hey! I think you are in the best place for it! Here you can talk to people with the same disorders you have. I know it's not like meeting a friend and talking to him, but it's also a good place to share and feel that other people understand you :)

I’m feeling the same way as you are right now, one thing that I use for community and to feel less alone is the ocd subreddit, I don’t go on it all the time since it can trigger me but the subreddit existing on its own just reminds me that there’s a huge community of us and that I’m not alone or “crazy” for experiencing what I go through.

the internet really helps more than hurts me when it comes to this actually! i follow many people with ocd diagnosed and/or therapists on instagram that post helpful content. it makes me feel way less alone. examples are ocdexcellence and theobsessivemind

i really only have one or two friends that have similar issues to me but that wasn’t w really a factor in becoming friends, just coincidence. But my closet friend doesn’t suffer from any mental illnesses and they make me feel more understood and supported than anyone else I know, so the value is more from building friendships with good people
