Yup. My mom is gonna drive me there. It's once a week. I hope it helps. Today I went to my grandparents and also for a walk.

I have really got a lot out of the groups that I've participated in. I hope that you find this is a good thing for you too!
And good for getting out - that is so hard sometimes.

good for you and trying group.
i liked the group i was in...well kinda. but it was hard for me cuz i'm not a group person. but in that light i was proud of myself for sticking it out.
it was DBT so it lasted so long and then ended. i guess you could stay in longer but i didn't. i actually liked the group discussion much more than the lecture part of it. i guess because that part didn't help me too much (now i know why).but sorry about tangent about me. this is about YOU and Your new trial.
once a week is great. one thing is to (just me talking) be a little cautious about the people before you get too close. my first couple times there people wanted to exchange phone numbers and email and stuff. and i just didn't want to. luckily i was able to say no at that time. normally it's hard for me.
but then i got to know some of them better and chose who i gave my info to. i know i made the right choices then.and YAY on the walk.
the last two weeks i've been getting home from work and trying at least a couple times a week to get out and take a walk with my IRL little one. she enjoys it and so do i. i get lots of good sunshine that i really think helps with depression/depressive thinking.and yay for grandparents. they good too.
good going Angela2
sounds like you doing very good stuff for yourself.b2c
