when i was in the hospital for dx

we all supported each other

helped with dealing with feelings,and emotions.

Helped a little to know there were others out there.

I worked Adult Children of Alcoholics and it helped me to see things differently, but the symtoms of the abuse are still there.

I was attending AA groups but was the only one with a spending addiciton. They made me feel welcome but I felt like most of the group didn't understand my addiction.

talk therapy doesn't work for this gal.

group run by counselor at school

I didn't speak to my parents about this until it had been a while since I had stopped. It was hard but it gave me courage and in the end, them knowing gave me a bit strength.

Been doing this for about a month. It's been extremely helpful to talk with others who have similar experiences, although also very difficult to deal with things in such an honest way

working on it going 1 time a week to group

Once I was pretty level w/ the meds, the therapy actually helped.

helps alot

Helpful

works, but i tend to get depressed by the deep depression of others who are less active or positively engaged in a professional or career life...if people are hostile in group, i withdraw and try to talk less of my successful experiences for fear of them lashing out at me
