God damn it. Is it like in the movies/shows where you sit around in a group and everyone spills out their heart? I can't deal with that.

all the group therapy I've been to (only 3-4 sessions, then I moved on) was more like a seminar. it was 90% the person running it talking. they'd occasionally ask questions or ask us to do a small paper-based exercise. 75% of the people there didn't say anything. didn't help me at all.

Who was in the group?

was a group of around 12-14 people. run every other week by the NHS (britbong). I've forgotten most of what was actually said as it was so irrelevant and useless to me. there was a lot of self help shit like do exercise and drink more water. and this wasn't the first step or anything, this was supposed to be "step 4" of the NHS mental health treatment service. fairly bullshit. did eventually get into one on one counselling afterwards though, which is a lot more beneficial to me.

All I have to say is to not spill your guts. Because you will be the topic of someone elses conversation

That's my plan to be honest. I'll just try and keep my mouth shut. I don't even know why I said yes to this fucking group therapy thing. I know for a fact I'll be judging all the other people, just like they're judging me.
