support group
There's a support group meeting tonight. The past couple weeks I've felt like giving up on it, but I know this isn't the right time to make a decision about that because of the way I've been feeling. Very usually, Betsie and I meet in the room I've scheduled at the library and talk for a half hour or an hour and then we go back to our homes. We had someone show up a couple times a month ago. but she wasn't at the last one. We had one person assume for some reason that we weren't having meetings anymore because I stopped emailing or calling that there was a meeting after the first couple of times (I had said in the second meeting that I wasn't going to do that, that we had regularly scheduled times). I sometimes get calls about the group, but then those people do not show up. I don't blame them, as I know how hard it is with a mental illness to leave the house and go do something like this. It's frustrating though, as I thought I was doing something that could benefit people who would often feel like they weren't understood by most of the people around them. It's a big effort often for me as well to go, but I do it. Just to feel disappointed.
