I went to a support group one time and didn't like it. Everyone just took a turn taking a few minutes to say how they were doing. Except for one person who talked for about 40 minutes straight about things that had nothing to do with BP, I honestly think they were hypo during the meeting because they were all over the place and kind of rude. Other than that it went back and forth between depressing and boring, depending on what people were talking about. When it was my turn to talk, I didn't really get anything therapeutic from it, because it was just a bunch of strangers sitting there, I may as well have been talking to a group of rocks, as far as how it felt to me.
I imagine it's beneficial for some people, but it wasn't for me. I don't regret that I gave it a chance, though, at least now I know.
