maybe it is what you need. maybe you need to stop being by yourself and crying.. maybe you really need to be around other people.  |

you poor thing, this must be very daunting for you but i have to agree with the other replies. i think meeting people and being around people would be good for you. i cant imagine being on your own all the time and crying is doing anything for your depression. so as hard as it might be, i think this could really help you. life is much more fun when its shared with others. best of luck   |

I used to see counselors and they thought that it might be a good idea if I went into this group thing. I didn't think too much about it but it turned out not to be so bad. There was only about 5 people there and everyone there was real friendly and it was a good place to talk about your problems. I didn't really talk to much there but I listened a lot. Its a good place to meet people and I felt comfortable being around them. I acutally enjoyed it when I thought it wasn't going to be enjoyable. Give it a try and see how things go.  |

yeha, Cosmic Freak said it well... it may not seem like it will be helpful because you're afraid right now, but it will be good in the long run.. you seem to have a bit of a social phobia, which is what i have.. and in order to get better, you have to put yourself out there and try things like this in order to work on that fear.. you can't do that one on one.. you need to face the fear head on.  |

Your counselor is a professional, she knows what she's doing and she's doing it for a reason. I know you don't want to go but it's for the best. She tells you you only have to go 5 times because she knows you will like it and end up going on your own will. Don't be scared  |

Well it would help to know why you're on all those drugs. Morphine I suppose is for pain. It seems to me that you're desperate about being with people in general. Why? Depression is a serious condition and your counsellor is trying to help you. From what I can see you feel very isolated and maybe have a morbid dislike of people and sharing problems. Interaction is what your counsellor is looking to get you all to do. It must be boring for her to listen to everyones selfish obsessions with whatever, so it gives her a break too. Maybe its the drugs as to why you spend most of your time crying. Why do you cry? Get a job helping out at a hospice or something to take your mind off your self. You have to live your life as you see fit. It's your choice whatever you decide. I wish you well.  |

I am on all the drugs because I am in constant pain. Even when I take the drugs I am still in constant pain and I tell the Dr everytime they make me sick and they dont help with the pain. He just smiles and says ok keep taking them. That is what the morphine, fentanyl, and steroids are for. The wellbutrin and doxipin is for depression. Why do I cry? I wish I knew. If I knew then it would be a lot easier to help the problem  |

Okay, you need a new counselor. Tell your folks this. Your group-therapy class is being run the wrong way (for one thing, they should be in a circle, not a rectangle--that way no one's on the spot!). Also, see about getting a psychiatrist. If you're on that much medication, you're going to need proper monitoring.  |
