Fogged in on the Mountain

Has anyone here ever been involved with Group Therapy? If so, could you please tell me a little about it? I've been signed up for one beginning on Monday and am apprehensive about it. The way it was explained to me (or at least what I "heard") was that it's like a class of sorts.

When I had my appointment yesterday, it apparently unlocked some things I had "forgotten" about. I'm getting flashes of fragmented memories from years ago. These are very painful fragments and I don't know what to do with them all. Especially when all I want is for them to go away.

So, I have anxiety about the group, and a lot of pain from these old demons and I dont know how to handle either. Can anyone offer anything? Thanks.

The fog is definitely on the mountain and I feel like I'm headed for the breakdown.

I have had my therapist ask me if I would be interested in group therapy but I am not so sure I would like to go but I am afraid that I may take on what the other people are going through and then turn them into my problem when I know they arent but that is how I am. But I have thought about it and I think that it may be good for me to be around others who are like me to see that I really am not alone since I dont speak to anyone about all of what I am going through besides my therapist and this board I dont speak to my family about what I am going thru cause it isnt worth it with them.

So anyways I would at least look into try it out you never know it may be just what you needed have faith good luck ad I will speak to you soon.
