What is your experience with hometown pain support groups

[Guest guest]

I'm just curious as to how face to face pain support groups work. Are

the things you say kept confidential? Are they helpful to you at all?

I've been thinking about it but being in a crowd of people scares me

somewhat, especially talking about chronic pain, and my own situation.

But more than that, I have a tendency to be phobic in crowds. I

sometimes have anxiety attacks in crowded places.

This forum is easy, every one understands chronic pain, and no one

puts you down here, and it's also easy because I'm at home posting,

where I'm most comfortable.

But I am hoping with your responses, I can weigh the pros and cons,

and perhaps go to a meeting.
