Boy, do I know this place you're in. I *know* how risky it feels to ask for what you need. So maybe start with something really, really small so there's not much chance you'll be rejected. Like I can't imagine that the group would reject your talking about what's going on with you. And no matter what the depression is telling you, I also can't imagine that your story won't help at least one other person there (and frankly I'd be surprised if it didn't help most or all of them).
Just think about trying baby steps until you feel stronger. Okay? Imagine that I'm standing or sitting beside you holding your hand, whispering over and over, "You are allowed to ask for what you need and you deserve to get it."
