OK for one the others have no right to know any sensitive personal details about you full stop!!! Your manager does not have the right to enforce that either.
So you dont have to worry bout anything too personal. They just want to knowhow it affects you at work and how others can perhaps help too knowing the things that can affect you.
So i thikn you have made a good start with your list. DO NOT GO INTO PERSONAL DETAILS.
I would say that you are finding this incredibly difficult and you would appreciate not being bombarded with questions afterwards. I think its a real positive to say that you are getting all the help you can to get thru this!!!
Regarding the personal space thing perhaps you could say that if you ask for space you are NOT being rude you are just trying to cope.
Its a tough one and tbh im really confident in groups like that and i would find this difficult too!
Im sure you will be great. Look back tonight at all the things you have achieved over the last two years. Take a deep breath, look right into your eyes in the mirror and say "I CAN DO THIS"
Ooohhh and set up a reward too for after regardless of how good/bad it goes. Like buying a book or something to reward for even attemting it in the firt place!!! Or maybe a nicehot choc and a huuuuge muffin. BUT REMEM?BER THE REWARD!!! Of course if its a large box of chocs then I WANT ONE!!!
