Hankster, I think my family is supportive of me but I tend to view them in the same light I view myself. I am overcritical of them and I don't think they truly understand what I am going through and I find it too hard to tell them. I have opened up to them numerous times in the past and all I got was a little pep talk and was told it will be all right. Never helped.

I am going to a local college right now but in a year or two I will be moving out and I have thought about moving out earlier, but the same worries and anxieties keep me from doing other things I want, are also keeping me from doing this.

Thanks,

Alec
