Durras you're doing such good things for yourself. dont let your fear stop you.
Meeting new people can be scary and so are new situations, just remember that every single person in that room has probably felt the same apprehension as you. They understand and it is a safe place for you.
i think you might be surprised how good it feels to say what you're feeling out loud. I've never been to a support group, but ever since I started talking more openly about my feelings with selected people I've found it easier and easier to do it. In a way I'm almost jealous that you get to go!
Sometimes I think of my depression and anxiety almost like another person, someone that's trying to keep me down. It's not me, I'm strong, I like people and I enjoy doing things. Depression and anxiety are none of those things and want to keep me stuck. So you need to prove them wrong, you need to beat them.
If the whole idea seems overwhelming then break it down into parts. First part, getting ready. Second part, getting there. Third part, going inside, maybe make yourself a cup of tea and so on.
dont think about the whole thing, just get each part done and before you know it the whole thing will be complete. And once you've been once, every time after that will be easier.
good luck, would love to hear how it goes.
