I checked it out, thanks.

What I'm afraid of with local peer groups is I live in a place where everybody knows each other.

I had tried a peer group before, in a few towns over. One woman there was talking about her divorce from someone I knew and the woman he had cheated with, also someone I knew. After the session, I told the therapist that I knew who she was talking about and didn't feel comfortable. The woman in the group would have been very embarrassed if she knew I knew.

I just got prescribed Cymbalta yesterday by my Rhumatologist to help with arthritis and depression. I'll give it a shot.
