Haha, don't get me wrong -- I'm WAY more into (and certainly FAR more forthcoming) on PC too.

Thought of something else. Besides the support groups, NAMI can be a good resource for finding services which can especially helpful if new to an area. They also have common interest activity groups like writing, quilting, art, walking, gardening which can be good if you just want to get out a bit more w/o making some big committment (or cost) like taking a class at a school. Can't speak to what the different area chapters have to offer, though the one that I know is very active. (And even have their own building!)

There is also DBSA (Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance), and they have stuff too, though I've no personal experience with them. (Ironically enough, after all I've said, it turns out there is one of those pretty close to here and I thought about it, but am leaning towards not going, lol, even though I could really probably use it... for reasons too numerous to name.)
Thanks for this!
