Thanks for posting that Suzy. I knew I saw it somewhere that relationships outside the group were frowned upon. I did not ask my therapist specifically about this but I will ask her when I can. If nothing else, I can get her views on it. I'm new at my group also (I think this will be my 6th week too) and I've found it very helpful already. We have a mix of diagnoses in our group too but it doesn't seem to be an issue. We all benefit from the skills we are learning. I hope too that you will make strides in gaining stability with group and medication (that's how I'm doing it).
