I've attended support groups for 25 years but find them pretty mediocre. The only reason i continue is that i'm already in the drop-in and groups are sometimes less boring than the lounge. The Womens Group i attend usually devolves into a chat about food and food sensitivities which i find deadly boring so i usually end up leaving. Occasionally i will find a good group where the sharing is really emotionally moving but those are few and far between. Usually it's about as helpful as talking to a brick wall.
