I am starting a new therapy group today and can feel the anxiety building up in me right now. I am starting to feel scared and very upset. I need to shake this because I really want to go and hope they can help me heal. I don’t know if I can do it I’m shaking and now beginning to cry from the fear. I need help just to go get help.

Hey friend.....breathe......slowly.....then know that these people are just like you....they are going there to get help and in sharing your story's together....in turn you help each other. Nobody is there for any other reason than you are but to identify with others issues ....imagine for one minute that this is a room of solace...and unity....with people who can clearly understand without judgement because they like you just want to get better, and know they are not alone.

First day jitters. Not t knowing what to expect. Seems to be going ok. Just hard talking about myself in front of strangers

even without our stuff, it's hard for anyone to talk in front of strangers, your very brave and your stronger than you know.
