A contact of mine suggested me to join a support group to find people with similar difficulties and talk to them.
I found a group nearby, but I’m a bit reluctant to go. I can feel myself making up excuses as to why it would not be a good idea.
- I don’t feel like it would be helpful.
- I will feel like they have even more severe issues than me and I can’t relate.
- It’s a group with 10 people, so I feel like it’s a bit too much for me. I feel like I will just let everybody else talk and be silent like usual.
- I was a bit sick in the past weekend and I’m worried about making other people sick (even though it’s kinda over)
Anybody already went to a support group before, what was your experience?
Yeah, I very much tend to overthink and think in terms of worst case situations. Strange thing is that, even when I know the worst case is not really an issue, I still feel like it’s so hard. Especially in social situations I can never really get rid of that little panic/tension that seems to stay present.
