It is similar at my Support Group. Obviously conversation is about our feelings and experiences but before and afterwards we engage in chit chat. I don't want to hear about children being constipated, Dungeons and Dragons, and finger nail polish.

Yikes, that is brutal. I feel for you.
Walmart??? What is there to discuss?

Have you looked into social groups that have nothing to do with psychiatry/mental illness? What about taking a university class for mature students? What about joining a book club?
