Me: I am bad at socialising and it makes me stressed and I should not try
Also me: *spends hours googling local meet up groups*

I would love to go to a support group. There aren't any nearby. At this point I'd consider joining a support group for almost anything.

There was one for BPD in plym & that was great, even tho I don't have that diagnosis, my experiences are close enough it seems. But we had to move home. And there's nothing in this whole big city.

The stuff we do have generally is run by orgs like Mind, and the needs are so broad that most of the events feel like day centres, which is fine but clearly not for me. There is something called the Recovery College but none of that appeals either, it's either irrelevant or very basic & like a lecture, & that would give me ADHD boredom rage. & it sounds like there are like...ice breakers. Shudder.

@Damage i go to an adhd group sometimes that meets once a month,its nice but quite unstructured?? feels a bit more like just hanging out than a support group as such. wonder how much of that is bc all the organisers hav adhd, lol

they do more focused sessions too but the topic is always something i dont need so i dont normally go to em

@roadrunner there really is, it's odd as there's clearly a need. I guess there's a shortage of people able to organise them. I'm in Birmingham, you'd think there would be something

@roadrunner I think just hanging out would be nice. I've had so much not very good therapy & I'd just like to be around people who have similar feelings sometimes x
