Hi, you know you're not a crazy person!!! And if he's quite busy then maybe you can still talk to him for shorter periods when he has time.
But it is good if you have other people you can talk to though. Trust is a big thing in being able to open up, and if you already know them and feel that you can talk to them then that's a real good start. You can always tell them things at your own pace, in your own time as well if it feels more comfortable.
If they aren't "getting it" though just make sure you try to explain to them real clearly, it may not mean that they don't care they may just need a bit of help from you to understand.

And:

Oh and thanks frankbtl for the help and advice you have given me

You're WELCOME!!!!
