I've only been to a support group for bipolar a few times. Back when I had anorexia I found group therapy for eating disorders to be incredibly helpful. But bipolar support groups haven't helped me. When I first started going I was manic and talked too much and embarrassed myself and never went back. Then I moved, and when I tried support groups in my new city, I just felt so sad and depressed while I was there, for no reason at all, like I was taking on all the emotions in the room. I haven't gone back.

Then again, things like AA and NA are sometimes helpful to me and sometimes trigger me to drink. Group therapy is weird.
