so just got back from the support group.
nothing like NAMI.
i suppose cuz its smaller.
first of all the guy that interviewed me wasnt even there.

they asked me all these questions first. they asked everyone these questions like:
are you eating right?
exercising?
sleeping?
taking your meds?
etc.

i was completely honest. and because i was completely honest the leader gave me this long lecture about how they promote being healthy in the group. which i get. like ok.

most of the people seemed pretty interesting tho. one guy was working on a screenplay. and the leader was talking to this guy with schizoaffective disorder about how he was gonna be a group leader but he said he had a meltdown/episode. everyone was nice to me tho.

and then in middle the leader and that guy started talking about advocacy and how the county is expanding and how he met with the state rep of nami last week about expanding this county. so some of these people are like pretty smart but they dont even look like that at first.

and then at the end everyone stands up in a circle. im like wtf is going on?
and the leader looks at me and says "we pray at the end of our sessions".
i was "oh ok."
