My therapist suggested going to Al-anon meetings so I can talk to people who've also felt isolated and grew up in dysfunctional families. My dad is borderline schizophrenic and left when I was a kid. He's been homeless most of my life, rejecting help from anyone.
I've looked into meetings, but I'm scared to go. I still battle with agoraphobia. The thought of going somewhere new scares me. I'm also a little jumpy around men.
Does posting online kind of take the place of a support group? I think it might...but I kind of feel like a coward for not facing my fear.
