> i'm so scared...cubic me you KNOW how i HHHAAATTTEEE groups. now it's once a week on saturdays. i'm glad i don't have to take off more work but it's not fair that i have to pay for something i'm being FORCED to attend.
> i HATE groups!
> well...i guess i did pray about my outcome so i'm hoping there is a reason for this.You hate groups, I hate groups, but I got through and was fine. It may not have helped, but I don't think it did me much harm either, and if I'd had an individual T at the same time it might even have done some good as I could have talked about what I was feeling when I was in group. I think the lack of an individual T was what was really wrong with my experience. Like you, I didn't want to talk, so I was left with all these feelings about group and no-one to discuss it with - it not being able to talk about it that was damaging, not the feelings themselves.
I know I'm not you, but if I was in your position I would go to group, but discuss all my concerns with my T. Perhaps they will think that you are not ready for group or that group isn't for you - it's not for everyone. Having said that though, several people in my group thought that they wouldn't like group, and had a really positive experience.
I'm sorry you had to go throuh this crisis, I hope that something good can come out of it. Cubic_me x
