Book Club Idea was a Disaster
I started to see a therapist at Kaiser-French Campus this year. My psychiatrist sent me to her because I had been over-stressed at work. My therapist, a female, sent me to Work Group Therapy where people who've been harassed at work talk about their problems. I only lasted 3 sessions. I always kept saying the same story. Eventually, the group therapist told me to do my best. After that session, I realized I didn't need group therapy; just a friend to tell my problems to.
My therapist has continued to ask me about my friends. I only have 3 total, but 1 that I talk to and see every week. One of them, Irene who lives in Redwood City, I rarely talk to/see. Lauren is a great friend that I'm lucky to see once a week. And Megan, the crazy personality-shifting friend that everyone enjoys having, until she purposefully switches sides, I've chosen to cut communication with. That leaves me with one friend. My therapist suggested I make more friends via Meetup.com or start a book club where I could tell members about my books. Unfortunately, I only had one book club meeting where Lauren showed up. That really got my hopes up, thinking my book club getting notoriety. I came to realize the book club idea was a disaster. So I started to going to Web site.
Well, when I first started to log on, I couldn't find groups that met near where I live. Eventually, I found three groups. Goodbye, pointless book club!
