Hey thanks for all the input everyone! And yeah I think that's good advice sunrise. I might just drop it for the time being. I imagine I could always get back in. I guess it's best if I talk about this stuff with the group though (which I dread). The irony is that I think groups are intended to be a really good support when you have life problems, etc. But I guess that's only if you can make a strong connection with the group (which I have not been able to do).

Debbie, yeah it's really hard for me to talk about myself. I don't even find that I want to. I guess over time I lost interest in connecting. You know I think that I don't want to connect now because I feel shame about the state of my life. Being out of work, having screwed up what should have been a really good relationship, etc. makes me feel really worthless sometimes. And I know things will get better, but I need them to be better before I can connect with other folks.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I appreciate it!
