yes i would plan on getting there early too. i think you should think of this positively although, you are going through a tough situation right now, but after think of the friends and people you'll meet who actually do relate, i'm sure alot of them are in the same boat as you. you don't have to make friends if you don't want, maybe just one person may click with you. i remember when i first went to a community mental health center i was so scared but ended up making friends and we all understood each other as we were all in the same situation in the first place being there. i've moved since then, but am in a differrent place but it did help me open up to my docs and ts since then. good luck!!
