Hi Jay,
I think you are NOT being stuck-up regarding group sessions. At least you are going into a situation where you are at least familiar with the text. For many of us, we got disgnosed, put on medication, and started therapy before we were aware of what depression, anxiety, or any other disorder was.
You have the ability to make your knowledge work FOR you. Check out all the different groups that are offered in your area to find out what will work best for your beliefs.
I admire you for being able to at least admit you could use the services if they are presented correctly. You know what they say "A doctor makes the worst patient." You could easily fall farther into your illness without getting help just by denial.
Good luck and let us know what happens.
-Miller
