I've been going to a support group for over a year now. What strikes me is how helpful it is to find someone who shares an issue that you have. You find people who honestly understand. And sometimes there are people who have been in your shoes and can suggest good and bad paths to follow. You can find out which pdocs and therapists in the are are good. You can find out which hospitals are the best. And you can share your experiences and empathy with other people and see that you have made a difference in their life. That is powerful medicine.
Please go.
