My SA is very severe. I signed up for some daytime treatment program and I was required to attend 6 depression support group sessions. I went to the first and couldn't say anything because I was so anxious. I didn't go to the second one. I kind of just want to give up life.
Went to depression support group first time, was afraid to go the next

Maybe you should try going to another session. It's probably uncomfortable especially at first, but at least you made a big effort by going. It's probably less difficult each new time. I'm kinda curious too, how did the first session turn out? Hmm. I figure it's depends on the reasons.
Do you know why you couldn't focus? Maybe it was bad timing. Some of those people have SA, i'm assuming the few that talk the most didn't have SA or least had SA badly at that moment. From what you said it's kinda severe right now. If you had that feeling again, could it prevent you from staying or returning.

This is something I'm thinking, too. Inevitably a few people will be a little more comfortable than others, and they'll be the big talkers. You probably weren't the only one thinking of how much they did (or didn't) talk there. And sometimes just listening to people who are actually honest about their struggles can be therapeutic, depending on your stance towards it and how you're feeling at the time yourself.
