Hi Pegasus, in a few weeks time I may bring it up that I have some issues that I'm not ready to discuss yet - but that seems so lame when everyone else has the bottle to talk about there problems (even though there are probably things that they don't want to tell the group about either!) My main worry, especially regarding suicidal ideation, is that I don't want to worry the other group members. It's fair to say that sometimes I have been *very* close to suicide, and having had several suicidal friends in the past (one who was successful) it is not something I would want them to have to deal with. I guess if I feel that vulnerable again it would be excusable to talk to the facillitator in private, but to be honest I don't really like her that much (the group members are great tho :))
My individual and group therapy is free with the university that I am at, and their policy is not to attend group and individual at the same time (because of resources I think), so if I want to talk to my old T I'd have to leave group. She said that I am welcome to go back to her if group doesn't work out, but I don't want to make that step backwards really.
Thankyou so much for your suggestions. Can I ask, how did group go for you? Did you get anything out of it?
