Hello everyone

I am bipolar rapid cycler. I work with people with a diaagnosis of a personality. As part of my job I have had to spend some time in a therapeutic group. I have been for quite a few weeks and I have a few weeks more to go. I have enjoyed it and have been fine up until last week. I am currently rather depressed and am finding the group very difficult. I am little fearful of crying which would be unprofessional.

I am now faced with having to tell the therapists/psychiatrist running it that I need to stop going which will mean disclosing my own illness to them. I have wondered if I could just bite the bullet until the end. I just can't though. It is making me worse particularly since I have to facilitate one session.

I know I am not going to be very popular. Therapeutic groups are run in a particular way and I will be disrupting it. On the other hand I have to to care of my own mental health, Any ideas what I can say?

Thank you
