Group therapy making me feel worthless

[Electrolens]

I had a group therapy session yesterday and have been unable to get out of bed today. I've been making a real effort in group and it felt helpful at times but the last couple of weeks the group seems to have a consensus about things/feeling in a certain way about our diagnosis that I don't share.

There are also a couple of v strong characters who dominate and talk in absolutes, and I rarely agree with them. I find them quite confrontational and that makes me shut down. It's heightened my feelings of worthlessness and failure and needed to dissociate and not speak yesterday.

I don't know what to do. I really want help but am feeling broken and worthless

Who is running the group? They should be keeping an eye on the group's dynamics and making sure everyone can be heard and supported safely.

Group therapy doesn't suit everyone. I utterly hated it. It was competitive woe is me. All the sob stories made me feel even more depressed.

Maybe you would be better with online CBT. I found living life to the full website helpful.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling like this. No advice, just wanted to give you and to say that I hope either you manage to figure out or someone helps you to figure out best path forward so that you feel okay.

ooh A clinical psychologist and nurse are running it.

I'll have a look at the website thanks really I have a diagnosis of bpd and this is supposed to be specifically for that

Could you raise your concerns about it and how you're finding it privately with the people running it, or the health professional you talk to most?
