Starting Intensive Outpatient Therapy Group tomorrow

[Righteoustakeme]

So, I’m starting an outpatient therapy group tomorrow morning, early, and I’m nervous. Not just nervous to go to the group, but nervous to drive there and try to find parking. I’m really hoping this helps, but I’m not sure. Hoping I can find some sort of hope in this group, because I will be talking with people that have some of the same issues as me...but at the same time, I’m scared it will not help. I have to go to my psychiatrist on the same day as a day where I have to go, so I’ll have to miss or at least partially miss a session, which I feel like will make me look bad even if I tell them about it. I woke up this morning feeling really down, and hopeless, like there’s no hope for my future. I don’t know what to do. I just feel like I don’t have anything left. I have an acute level of anxiety/depression...so much so that it inhibits my ability to function much less have a job or go to school like I normal person. And I’m only 22. There’s supposed to be “so much ahead of me” but honestly I just want to end it all and give up and die.

Well let's just think positive for the moment about the group.

Good to know I’m not alone.
