If it wasn't for this site I would never have gone to therapy. I would have continued to think I was the only person who pulled their own hair out. I would have continued to hope that my dad was right and that I'd just "grow out" of my fear of making phone calls. I never would have realised that it's actually ok to still be affected by something that happened over 10 years in your past. I would have continued to keep things bottled up, since I find talking about my problems very difficult to do.
