Okay so the group went pretty well. I tend to unconsciously go into this turtle-in-a-shell mode when exposed to new, possibly 'dangerous' (or just intimidating/nerve-wracking) situations, kind of like shock I guess you could say, so I don't really know I feel about it yet. But the people in the group are all really 'normal' people - out to get help and totally imperfect, just like me. I had a really hard time getting there this morning; thought I was going to have a panic attack. I fell apart and started crying while I was introducing myself to the group. But I think it'll be okay.
