There is a weekly hearing voices group at a local MH drop in centre about 10 mins away from my house. I've thought about going a few times, but never have because I am not really welcome there, or at the other MH drop in centre a bit further away. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve and I fake functioning too well to fit their stereotype of someone with MI and so I am treated with suspicion and disbelief. I don't understand it myself because several of the people who are rude and suspicious of me seem quite high functioning on the surface too, yet somehow they are accepted and I am not.

I am glad that you are finding it helpful. I have read that the HV groups are supposed to be quite good though, if you can access them. The ethos behind Romme and Escher's work really interests me.
