Another support

I was in another support group on the telephone and I was made to feel like an outsider they just skipped over me they made me feel like an outsider like I was an after thought I know this group they'll never let you feel this way. Being in that group made me feel worse about myself then they should have made me made it made me feel better when I was in it I was thinking even though I don't sound like I have mental health problems they just skipped over me like I wasn't important because I've never been hospitalized like a lot of people but I was told before wants to go to a crisis center I don't know if other people feel like this sometimes

I'm sorry they treated you like this.

Sounds like this group isn't for you. Is it an open group or is there a moderator present? I'm not a fan of groups without a moderator or leader. There are always people that monopolize a group and go on and on about themselves.

What are your thoughts about continuing?

Hi Dolphin, Thank you, Dolphin. it was another mental health very popular Mental Health Group that has zoom and telephone meetings and I joined another one about maybe a couple of hours away from home and I felt more comfortable there which is good. There is also a moderator in the group too but it still didn't keep me from feeling really uncomfortable. I hope you had a really nice weekend I did something relaxing and fun, your buddy, N🥰

I had to speak to two therapists in two different groups I was in. I asked them to do their job. Speak to the people that are the issue. I said you are not doing your job correctly. I was there to get support not listen to someone that wanted to grab attention.

Sometimes what's happening in our world can make or break our success in a group. Do you think some stems from your issue at work? Are you expecting more of a confrontation if you speak up?

My weekend went well. My best friend and I went shopping was so fun,

I'm so glad to hear you did something relaxing and fun for yourself. You so deserve this.

Thinking of you

❤️❤️

i m not sure. In the group that I go to or I used to go to we're not talk supposeto talkabout how you feel about in your group I wish I could ask them why they were acting like that though so I figured that group wasn't meant for me. I'm glad you and your best friend had a great weekend we were able to relax and rest 🥰🥰, N

I'm thinking the same NN

It's not for you. These people have nothing positive to give you. Break away before they hurt you

I know it's always good to have someone listen to others in the group. Cuz I know that sometimes it's the only support that people have is in a group support group or here too it really helps when someone listens to you and gives feedback

I know there is a couple of therapists that I had that would talk about their intimate lives to me it's like why would I want to know that for it's like totally inappropriate it's like why would you talk about your personal life like that supposed to help you especially stuff like that.

My sister IG had that problem when she was in group therapy. Her therapist at the time thought it would help her with her issues.

Instead it made her feel more anxious and kind of angry. And that was because she couldn't handle the stress of being in the group. A lot of the other members seem to have more emotional outburst. In particular one member who always cried which annoyed my sister. And eventually my sister told her therapist that this wasn't working for her.

And I'm sorry that the group made you feel that way. I had a therapist who made me feel that way. It seemed like what I said didn't matter or to her wasn't a big deal. Smile and think positive thoughts was her response one time. Yeah not very helpful to the 13-year-old who doesn't know why she can't leave the house on certain days and just shuts down. Or has the shaky and dizzy spells and her heart is pounding in her chest. Took another therapist to tell me that I had a panic disorder and anxiety disorder.

I'm glad that you feel heard here. That's why I like about this place there's somebody here that knows what it's like and you can relate to them and they can relate to you. ❤️🫂

Hi Cl3, I hope your sister is feeling better and I'm so glad that you found a good therapist that diagnosed you. I like this support group because everybody here listens to you and helps you. I know that there are times just like when your sister was in group but I'm not in group though when this happens one of my older sisters that I live with she listen to this tik tok things sometimes and it gets on my nerves and I feel like saying something but I don't it's like I can't wait till she's done listening to it
