ML - I somehow missed your post yesterday. I'm so glad this has clicked for you, even if it hasn't been a very comfortable process! well done one deciding to stay for the extra time too

I had a somewhat similar experience in rehab. I spent the first 10 days or so clammed up & clock-watching through group therapy sessions until I got a right royal b*llocking from the group which snapped me out of it.

I hope you'll be able to take some risks, put yourself out there, & get as much as you can from your remaining time - you're in a safe place & it's a pretty rare opportunity to be able to do that. I know you said you were uncomfortable with some of the other people there, but forget them, you're there to get yourself well & you'll probably never see them again after you leave. I know I got so, so much more from rehab once I stopped fighting it.

take care & keep up the good work
