Hello,
Had a rough day. Went to a support group I have been in for three weeks. I have been feeling very depressed so hence, vulnerable and not real strong. A guy in the group turned to me today and said in front of everyone, "You never share in the group".
This of course is not true--not much is NEVER--and I do share in the group--funny thing is usually I share very much in groups if I feel comfortable. So I felt he was just goading me and I already felt vulnerable so I had to say something....so I said I felt attacked. Then I said I am there to focus on me and I think we should do that or something like that. Then I said, "OK, I'm going to share something....I like to do things very slowly (meaning sharing slowly) .
He later came up to me and apologized but I still feel upset because this stuff happens mostly when I feel really vulnerable or triggered already. I felt like I couldn't breathe--the room became very tense.
I really do not like to be attacked in front of a group when I feel vulnerable already and everyone there feels scared and vulnerable, maybe mostly him.
Any insight? Advice?
Thanks
Marishka
