Sallie:

I know what it's like to struggle with things. Sometimes it's easier to type it out instead of speaking face to face. It gives you time to gather your thoughts, etc. Everyone else in my family or that is close to me have their own issues to deal with so I find it easier to express myself in the forums.

Have you ever considered therapy? or finding a psychiatrist ? It might help you to get evaluated or atleast be able to learn coping techniques and things. Maybe an online search would be useful as there are alot of self help sites out there.

Take Care and I hope you feel better soon!

GREAT BIG WELCOME !
