I am/was active in a positive, forward looking political group, since January 2014. Two things set me off on an anger tangent. One, there is too much technology involved. When I ask someone a question, usually that person will say, "That was posted on the listserv" or refer me to another group. Then someone at the other group will refer me to some computer/internet program, which I (1) can't figure out, (2) have no intention of learning. Also, someone in my group lost four lists of interested people who signed up for more information at tabling events. I sounded off about these things to our local listserv. Four people got on my case about this. I have no intention of declaring to this group that I'm disabled with bipolar. There are two people in the group who have made comments that imply to me that they "don't believe in psychoactive medication." They think it's a government plot to dumb everybody down. My therp has advised me to take time off from the group. But people want me to come back. I'm so embarrassed by the "call outs" from these four people that I don't know what to do. I am justifying myself -- to them as well as myself -- that sometimes people have emotions, and that others need to have compassion, rather than to condemn. Anybody got any ideas for me? It's the only political group that interests me, and I strongly support what they do.
