Some of you may know that I went to a DBSA (Depression Bipolar Support Alliance) support group meeting last week and had a terrible experience.
Well I went back anyway, last night, because I told my T I would give it another chance.
I am so glad I did. This time there were more people like me--lower functioning and on disability. I plan on going back.
Weird though--I still felt depressed (although not as acutely) and uncomfortable, during and after. I think a big reason is I felt self-conscious in my gloves. ( I also have OCD germ phobia and wear vinyl gloves everywhere.) I kept my hands in my pockets the whole time. Not that I would have, being so new and not knowing anyone, but you have to raise your hand if you want to talk. How can I do that with my gloves on? Should I explain the gloves when we go around the room at the beginning of the meeting?
Anyway--it went a lot better.
