Thanks. I know the Emotions Anonymous group, we have one here in Sweden as well. I though found their rules way too strict and I couldnīt fit into such a group as one of their rules is that youīre not allowed to talk about any treatments, like psychotherapy.
As my main language isnīt English Iīm not fluent enough when speaking English and by that I donīt look for groups where you have to speak English.

I also joined Overeaters Anonymous and I really find the 12 steps helpful regardless of whether or not you have an addiction. They have Emotions Anonymous for people with mental health issues to do the 12 steps.
The pandemic actually opened up more avenues of support to me, because I can attend meetings hosted all over the world.
