I'm considering going to an outpatient program that strongly relies on group therapy. I am trying to be open-minded, but the idea of other sick people analyzing me or judging me is overwhelming. It's downright scary. Should I just keep my mouth shut (like the kid who covers his eyes and says YOU can't see me?!).

Please answer from your experience, and please, I welcome your helpful suggestions on how to get through this without just dying inside. Thanks.
