I do intend on going back, next week. I told my T that I would give it a few tries before I decided whether or not to quit going. But if it makes me feel this badly again next week...well I don't know.

The only thing in common was the DX and everyone was on meds. I guess that's a lot, but it didn't feel like it. And the people there didn't seem like they were struggling. You have to state from 1 to 10 where your mood is and 5 is stable, 1 is extremely depressed and 10 is extremely manic. Almost everyone said 5 or 6. I was the only one that said 2 1/2.
