Sleeps,

I really know what you mean about most of your posts are support for others....... that's me too. However, you are MUCH more supportive than I.

It's been a long time since I started my own thread.... and look-- this one still doesn't show my struggling......

Hard to get over -- as a child I was punished if I got upset-- only happy emotions were allowed. I guess that's why it seems the frequent posters are healthier in my view- to be able to express myself like that and not be eaten up by guilt or feeling wrong, would be a step towards health in my mind. Ones background sure makes a difference-- doesn't it.

Many seem to feel the way I do when they're down........ they don't post either. It is a bit of a comfort to know I'm not alone in doing this.
