Hi Sam
I just started on this site 5 or 6 days ago and I've become a real jabber jaws. I'm also shy, embarrassed, reluctant to talk. It does feel good to talk and be heard. Hopefully I'll see more of your posts. Look out for me b/c some days I really need someone to hear me. By the way, if you don't have a therapist you might want to consider it. To be able to pour your heart out for 45 minutes is so helpful.
Be well.
