I hate that you had a terrible day. Your right summer hot weather brings out the worst behavior in people. I use to live in Nashville TN and one of our community centers had a knitting and quilting group. I use to go and I also went to ceramics class too. I was able to really get to know a few of the ladies. I really miss them. I have one friend in the state I live in but she does not have a mental illness. She’s not a warm bubbly type person so I have never tried to be deep with her. Last week the mental health association had a support group meeting. I went and it was ok. I’m going to try NAMI’s support group meeting next month.
