Hi all

I'm supposed to be going back to my group next week on Thursday. I've been put on several 'vacations' for not being overly compliant. I would like to go back but feel so patronised at times. There's been a lot of obstacles. The reason why I now think I would go back and be able to contribute is because I'm no longer severely depressed. I have a job and a life now. I'm not severely depressed so I think I could handle a lot of what they're saying. I dunno. What do y'all think about me going back? How should I approach the people in the group if I were to go back?

I'm pretty sure I will be going back because I really like to do things properly. I hate it that I couldn't concentrate on all the stuff I was supposed to do but I feel now I definitely could. I've been well for a reasonable length of time and functioning well from day-to-day. I feel I could do the heavy-going work with the DBT therapists. It was just that before they denied that I actually had depression and so didn't really bother treating me for it. So I went to a new doc n stuff. I'm now a shitload better.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. Lemme know what you think about me going back nd all peeps

Love and hugs
Sezzie Going back to group!

It sounds like you're committed to the therapy and I'm sure it will be much easier with not being severely depressed, and feeling like your life is back on track.

As long as you like the people and agree that what they are saying makes sense, and you're not too pissed off with them for not acknowledging your depression.... it seems like a good idea.

Hi there. I've never done group but it sounds interesting.

You sound very 'up' for it and I think that's a great way to be heading into it. In fact, you sound quite enthusiastic and hopeful about it.

Go for it!
