I went to a support group yesterday for ppl with depression and bipolar disorder. I thought it was for anxiety also but it is not. I felt unconfortable speaking up so I didn't say anything. I don't really want to talk to strangers about who I am. It's hard. But I also want to make friends. I could relate to some of the things these people said. I just felt like I was so different because I don't have bipolar dsrdr or extreme depression. What are your takes on support groups? I'm wondering if this is the right one for me. I've never been to one so, maybe they're all like this. The leader said I don't have to talk if I don't want to. So maybe I will go again. One thing I noticed was that they related everything to depression. I can't do that with my problems so I feared standing out. Have you guys been to support groups and do they help you?
