    Group therapy. It’s very intimidating to start, since you’re joining a group of people that already know the ropes. It took a while for me to join in and share, but it didn’t matter. I personally learned far more from observation than sharing my personal experiences. I’m in my 40s, if that helps.

      Ah, dammit. I’ll see if I can find something around me. It’s hard to convince myself to go because of the group aspect; much easier to stay home where I won’t upset anyone accidentally. But it does sound like it would be helpful; I’m younger than you but not by much. Thank you again!

        No problem! I joined an online group I found through my insurance portal. You may be able to do the same through your insurance provider’s website.
