Seriously, what is with normies and groups? Is it just the cheapest way of dealing with the huge problem of mental illness by herding them together in a room and forcing them to talk or face awkward social stratification?

Yeah group therapy is a disaster.
I was also forced to ones and everyone just bragged about themselves and how they're better than everyone

This does nothing, but to her it's the best possible thing she can do to help you. She clearly cares deeply about you.
Get whatever help you need. If not for yourself, then for her.

group therapy gives you a sense of belonging, which is usually something that helps the mentally distressed a lot.
i always thought it would be funny though if everyone in one of those group therapy things were on the same page and just cracked jokes with each other about killing themselves the whole time

It's because you need to put your feelings into action and not be afraid. Group therapy isn't perfect, but it'll give you the chance to know that you aren't alone in your feelings OP, and that you can improve.

Group therapy is mostly there to remind people their situation isn't the worst
