I used to go to a group for depression and bipolar a year or two ago for a while but it was an hour drive away and I have anxiety issues about driving and now my work schedule doesn't allow me to go. It was somewhat helpful but like someone else said, the longtime members did most of the talking and I didn't get to say much. The facilitator didn't do much facilitating and just kind of let people ramble on about all the things going on in their lives for a really long time. Then I would try to say something for like 3 seconds and then they would move on to someone else. I guess it's partly my social anxiety. I don't know if I could have even produced a long rambling story myself if I tried.
