Please don’t beat yourself up about the luncheon. I most likely would have done the same. I’ve tried to psych myself up to go to nami and DBSA support groups in the past but at the last minute I always chicken out. I’m worried about the same things you are; that all the people in the group already know each other and won’t “let me in”.

I’m always too nervous to join new groups like book clubs or whatever because I feel like I’ll be exposed with my mental health problems. I mean it really might not matter to some but I’m too afraid of being judged.

Hopefully you’ll be able to join in some activities when you’re ready.
