Does Group Therapy Work?

As I'm back in a city, I'm thinking about finding a group therapy group. Does this work for anybody?

I'm also thinking about getting back into martial arts. Only have time for one or the other.

If you have a therapist and pdoc I wouldnt do group therapy. I founf myself just getting angry and not allowed to speak my mind gently.

Since I'm not in therapy and on meds currently group really helps me. Not only do I get a chance to speak about my issues, but I get to try to help others too with my ideas which makes me feel good. It also gives me something to look forward to every week.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
