You are so lucky to have a mood disorder support group. Of course I am disinclined to put myself out there when depressed, too. I feel fragile and vulnerable, like I am wearing my skin inside out, and everything feels painful. But I don't have a choice. I have to find work, and a new place to live, and basically build a new life from the ground up. So I figure I am going to be living out of my comfort zone for quite awhile which makes me unhappy. Truth be told I am feeling pretty pissed off about my life on top of being depressed. I need willpower to get out there. I think I will also start with some meditation groups because they are a gentle social situation. I sure wish I had a mood disorder support group because that sounds ideal and not threatening.
