I went half way across the city to attend the Chicago Manic Depressive Association in the early 80s. Gave it a couple tries. I'm not shy so I started talking about driving my car 100 miles an hour, throwing my TV out the window, doing donuts on some golf course and riding in a frozen paddy wagon naked to Reed Zone state psych ward one January. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Duh. I WAS crazy. I gave up on the group until about 5 years ago when I just popped in on a group in a northern suburb. Everyone was half my age which was cool with me, but they all were depressed and hardly anyone worked and I didn't dare start telling stories about speeding and running around naked. Never went back.
I think some posters find Babble just as uninviting as I found these support groups. Ironic and sad. Then again you can come here and some chick might ask you to marry them. Go figure. The saddest part is when we get to know someone here and then they have some kind of meltdown. Well, you know the rest.
