Group Therapy

I am struggling with the thought of it group therapy is for me. I need to stick with it so I can have other character letter, but the ridicule from other another member and the lack of action from the therapist is starting to affect my mental health. I love everyone and look to support them in group, but the insults when I talk about my struggles are being to become too much. When I talk about suicide or even suicidal thought I am told I am being selfish, dumb, and too stupid to pull myself out of it. When I talk about the bullying I went through at work and being told I was ugly and undesirable, I am often met with the response that I am dumb for letting others impact my life so much. When I got into therapy I thought it was to help me work through my issues which with Lauren it was. Then I got into group therapy and at first people were supportive, but as the weeks when on it became less. Less overall supporting of each other and more social hour. When I try to talk about my issues, I am often interrupted and the subject is changed. Maybe I am dumb, but I struggle with it is worth going through the negative group therapy for a character letter from the therapist.

I pray that my second group therapy, the Grief group will be more about helping each other then social hour to talk about nonsense.
