MUE, it sounds like you're too hurt to go to group this week. That's OK. The feelings are too raw. Sometimes we need a little distance. Maybe another week will provide you with that. And the session with your T will help too.

I pretty much know that I wouldn’t share any of my personal struggles during group T. I tried that recently, and look where it got me….and now that the group is pretty ticked off at me, I doubt that they would be supportive of me anyway.

MUE, when you were sharing with the group but
before the woman piped up and tried to turn the attention to herself, were things going OK? Was the group reacting well to your sharing your struggles, offering support or ideas or empathy (or whatever good is supposed to happen)? This seems important to me, but the way you reacted to the woman has clouded over the experience you were having of sharing with the group. I think once you are past the issue of this woman and your reaction to her, it would be interesting to return to that. Do you feel like never sharing with the group again because of how they were reacting to you? Or because of the whole mess with this woman? If the former, what was going wrong? How were the members reacting that was not helpful?
