I went to my first group therapy last night. It was strange. There is definitely a mix of people which makes it interesting to hear everyone's point of views. The thing that was frustrating, is it's easy for a therapist to say that when you are feeling extreme emotion you should practice opposite action. I guess in just not there yet for it to be that easy. When I am in distress or extreme emotion, I cry, put my head through something or want to be home. I don't find it easy to just say I'm going to get up and go to work. Or find a happy thing to do in the midst of my madness. Hopefully with time I will get there...but it's just hard to imagine. Other than that my days have been mellow and neutral.
