Hello i hope you are doing well at this time. NAMI and DBSA support groups are on the internet and are very good supportive groups. I used to be very awkward about talking to people as well, and both of these groups really gave me a good grounding in feeling safe to express feelings. It is a one day at a time process with feeling that you trust someone enough to talk without feeling threatened. Journaling and poetry and writing feelings are also good for people that have communication issues. Your therapist can help you with your issues as well, I hope the best for you take care Sincerely Soidhonia
