I had my first STEPPS group earlier this afternoon. I was really anxious during it and wanted so bad to injure using the staple that held my packets of papers together (I had taken it out and put the papers in a binder). The focus of the group was the symptoms of borderline personality disorder and exactly what borderline personality disorder is. I think it will get better as it continues because I will be more familiar with it and the people in it and thus decrease my anxiety. The first time is always the hardest, and I am glad to have it over with!
