Venting I’m gonna be starting group therapy again soon

[idelttoilfsadness21]

It's been two years since I have made excuses not to go. I'm being made to join group therapy and we always just do pamphlets, watch tv, or play games and I hate being around strangers I don't know who can't seem to process their trauma or want to admit that the system is evil, and only isolate or take measures to force myself to play in their game while crafting a to do list of how to play it safe, so this is gonna be a long time since I've done this and it takes a lot from me emotionally especially as I have to wake up which is something I never fully recovered from and have to take a ride there while greeting everyone and writing my name down while I get fat on coffee throughout the whole day and I don't care about none of it and just rather listen to music or do sleep therapy if it existed where I go into my dreams and talk about what makes me happy and what my dream was about then the real world…

Being in the Army is often about having to go someplace and sit around all day with nothing to do. In these situations it can be a diversion to ask someone about their background and experiences.It can be like watching the history channel, but with a real person. You can even ask what books or movies they like. Sometimes you can hear about something that could be worthwhile. The art of casual conversation can be built up simply by asking questions. You might use the opportunity to help yourself develop skills even if there is nothing else going on.
