From what I understand, these groups are not well attended. Does anyone belong to one and can give some feedback on how to run a successful one? What problems they experienced and overcame?
I would love to belong to one (even ready to start up one) just to give me the exposure to social situations, that is making the effort to interact and grow from there. A least I can start making an end to my reclusive existence even if it is to attend the support group.
What I do not understand is, why not attend a group brought about to assist/overcome SP - its designed to help and support each other afterall, why not attend? Should we not be grabbing this chance to change?Are we not shooting ourselves in the foot by turning our backs on reaching out to the outside world for help?Will we ever get better if we do not take the necessary steps to change and improve our situation/lives?Are we going to hold on to our aloneness, our loneliness?Normal lives would not be attainable if we do not make the effort to change the one that causes us so much pain and deprive us of having healthy relationships.
Should we not be reaching out to each other TO ACHIEVE A COMMON GOAL?How else will we get well if not taking the hand of someone experiencing the same problems or am I far removed from the reality of SP and even a SP support group presenst a threat?Mabe it depends on the severity of SP I suppose? But I am so ready to give myself a chance at living a normal live, free from anxiety,panic and OH SO MUCH PAIN!
I would greatly appreciate any feedback!! Reply, please!
