I went to the group tonight and it went okay.  It was hard to be there...but it was a good kind of hard.  I didn't say a whole lot but just mainly listened and observed.  So many in the group are older and say they have been struggling since childhood....and even though I feel like I've been going through my stuff for a long time...I'm glad I'm trying to get it figured out now instead of waiting until I'm in my 40's, 50's, 60's as most of the members are.  I could definitely relate to a lot of what was said and experiences and almost every 5 minutes I felt like crying about something although I did hold it back.  It was good though...informal and relaxed and everyone in the group (including those who it's run by) have had (or do have) depression.  I think it will be a good thing.  I may after a few more sessions invite my friend (the one with the marital issues) to come too.  I think she could benefit.  I just need to figure out if it would be beneficial or not having one of my friends there at the same time...I'm not sure.  I will wait until I have gone at least another time or two before I decide.  Anyway, I am doing alright.  I am kind of sleepy though so drinking a warm cup of honey and lemon water and then going to try to sleep.  I see my mental health nurse (counselor, therapist, whatever you want to call her) tomorrow and I'd prefer not to sleep through it a second day in a row.
