I am a bit nervous today as I am going to my first DBSA meeting today to see if it can help a bit. I used to go to NAMI meetings once a month but the distance to travel was a bit tough to do most of the times. Other reason I am nervous about tonight's meeting is it is at my old church which my husband and I are one of the founders of along with about 20 other families. Probably went there for about 23 years and left about 3 years ago. Possible I could see some people I know not sure how I will react plus it will be weird to walk in the church again. I am trying this group because between meds and therapy just not sure it can keep me going. Don't get me wrong I feel my therapist is great and I believe the meds are doing something (sometimes wonder how much) but I need something more. I need to talk to those that can relate to where I am it. That is why I like this place....

I am sure I won't get weird looks or people judging me like society does.

It is good to talk to people who understand and have been there. I'm sorry the group is being held in a place that has memories for you but I'm sure whoever shows up needs your support as much as you need theirs. Sounds like it would be a good selfcare to go and see if it helps.

I've been depressed for over 30 years, I know support is important. Keep posting, it's a very support place.

I admire your still teaching the yoga. Yoga is supposed to be good for depression.

Hope you find what the help you are looking for.
