I finally found a place where I thought I was accepted and liked. My anxiety disorder support group. For once I felt like I could talk to people, and I felt good about it.

But now I'm realising that although people are nice to me and I feel accepted during structured group talk - when the group breaks up I am as much an outcast as ever.

As I was leaving the group meeting the other night I noticed them all standing and talking to each other outside the building.

I don't know what to say, it's a reality check that I am a loner even inside an anxiety support group.

Pretty depressing really.
