I know CGC12345. You are absolutely right. It is easier said than done. But, you do believe that your family loves you, correct? You aren't afraid of how they might react?

Please understand that I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what exactly holds you back. I wonder if a little part of you is afraid of how your family might react if/when you tell them what's going on inside? I truly hope that you can believe that you are entirely safe. And, if that is the case ~ you DO believe ~ then I encourage you to hold onto that hope to get you through to face your fears.

When we avoid what we're afraid of, the fear gets stronger. And then general anxiety begins. I have been on that crazy road myself, back when I was in my 20's. Every day was just SO HARD for me!! I was miserable for years, and my world quickly became smaller and smaller. I got to the point where I avoided almost everything, because my fear was so intense.

When I think of you avoiding talking about things that are troubling you, things that are happening in your world & you hold it inside... I worry. I don't want you to have to live through what I did. I really don't. That is where I am coming from.
