I did group therapy while I was hospitalized (6 weeks); I did outpatient and then I took part in an intensive 8 hour / day therapy program. That program really made a difference for me. My experience is you get out as much as you put in. I know it can be intimidating to speak about personal feelings in front of others, but my experience has been that everyone was very supportive. Good Luck and keep us posted.
