First support group

[eloradennon0905]

I am going to a mental health support group for the first time tonight. I’m really nervous, but I thought that it couldn’t hurt, right? Has anyone else gone to these before?

I went once ( NAMI) - and liked it. Unfortunately, the drive was long and at night. Sounds good though!

Hi eloradennon0905, I've been to many different support groups in my life. Not only are the people wonderful but you see how you are not alone in real life. Listen to what others have to share and know that they are not anymore at ease than you are. Pick and choose what others say in seeing how it can help benefit yourself. Going once is not enough even if you don't feel you got anything out of it. After several times you will see if that group is a good fit for you.

Good Luck tonight. You may just meet a life long friend who's on the same journey as you. Let us know how it went. xx

I went to an outpatient support group that was very helpful. I went weekly for 2 months but had to stop because it was too expensive. Did get a lot of good information out of it. Good luck!
