I remember the first couple of times I went to a support group were spent sitting in my car afraid to even venture inside and the next couple were spent in silence too afraid to talk. The facilitators let me go at my own pace and I eventually opened up and found it a liberating experience. Before when I was too overwhelmed to share I was beating myself up and felt I was being weak for never opening up. Sorry about the ramble, I hope my experience helps. shaggy
