For few months I wasn’t going outside to go out with some group of people or just talk with anyone in general. I’m not extroverted social soul, moee likely a lot opposite.
And well, at Wednesday I decided after really long time to go to one support group. Honestly I really was scared and voices kept telling me O should go to home then rather go there, but I didn’t do that. I just walked in and… It was pretty fine. 2 hours of my life were so chilling. I now understand I forgot how it is to hang out with people, to talk with them about anything and just be yourself. 
It was really cool. I’m so glad I was there! It honestly helped to my mental health, I feel a bit better now, but it’s still not that euphoric. But keep working on it.

Good move, keep going back and maybe build some new relationships. I don’t live in the pockets of the people at my meetings but I know they are there if I need them. I’ve read your other post too and that spark you feel you have to search for might be with the support group but like what was said earlier if you can find the spark within you it won’t matter where you go bc you’ll be the one bringing the light.
We are all guilty of comparing our inside to everyone else’s outside but don’t be fooled by what you see because we are all carrying burdens and you never know how much you will help someone else just by being you and turning up to groups.

Nastys - so happy that you were able to get to a meeting (get out of your comfort zone) and that you had a great time being yourself.
Keep going back and hopefully build on your relationships from the meetings.
A great step towards healing you mentally. Loved reading your post today…thank you
