Thank you for sharing your struggles, WannabeMe84!

I can certainly relate. From an early age, I learned to be 'strong', to not feel or express 'negative' emotions, to 'make it on my own'. Eventually (after decades) I suffered a nervous breakdown and have since had to admit big time that I need help, that I need other people. Work through the 'bad' emotions I was never able to feel and express, learn that they're actually alright and normal. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend therapy and have an amazing therapist teach me it's OK to 'bother' people Of course, we've got our work cut out for us trying to change these beliefs when we've learned, throughout our most formative years, that the opposite is true.. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
