I've been a member here a month or so now and I haven't reached out for help or shared anything because I can't figure out where to post. I don't have any particular defining issue that fits into a category and so I thought maybe this was the right forum, but the sticky at the top says most posts should fit into other forums and I should think about that first, so I keep reading that and not feeling like there's anywhere for me to post.

I'm so confused. I'm trying to be a happier person, to reach out and try to share some of my pain and journey with others who might understand, and I feel so lost. I'm on a journey of painful and positive self-discovery, taking responsibility for my life, trying to get a fuller picture of who I am and what I want and need.

Or is the board trying to get me to analyze what I want to post about to smush it into a category that will help me understand it better? So like if I'm upset about a few different things, I need to separate them and start different threads? Or is that compartmentalizing and not useful for constructive growth?

I have no idea. It's just been tough lately. Trying so hard to be happy in a new, conscious way, and it's really hard.
