I am trying to get together a support group for the mentally ill. You hear of all kinds of support groups for loved ones who care for the mentally ill, but I have a mental disorder, and I would love to get a group going. I live an hour away from the cities. Is there a social worker that would be available to volunteer their time, twice a month. I am going out on a whim here. People think that if you are mentally ill, you are not capable of doing much. That is not true, and it is even harder for us to carry the burden of knowing we are mentally ill. Does anyone have advice on how I would go about starting a group, and how to bring people aware? Thanks...

My insurance company says they can, but I never heard this before. I found some info that they were going to allow this to happen in California, but I can't find whether it ever did or not.

I heard about it on a Coast to Coast AM show recently, and for those of you who don't know what it is, it's when you know you're in a dream, and you can pretty much do whatever you please.

Anxious people tend to make me anxious. What i mean is people who are wating for you to go to the through the ATM. A pushy boss who freaks out and goes belistic before she even knows all the details. The car behind you honking. Or someone demanding to know all the details now.
I tend to allow all this stuff around me to get me anxious. I think its a mixture of wanting to see people happy and doing things right.
Has anyone else been there?
