I'm just the opposite: it completely shuts my mental and physical energy down, it messes with my thought process, I become totally dysfunctional and probably psychotic. No more groups for me.

There is a local support group here too, but I went a couple of times and it was awful, everyone was just whining about their depression, and I thought it was a horrible waste of time. I like the forum here much better myself.
