Hi, it has took me an hour to try and work out what to say to you - but now I am feeling so anxious I am going to dive right in.

The adult side of me knows that this forum could be just what I need, but the child side is very scared and panicky. I have looked on the site for the past 2 weeks and you seem very understanding and supportive, I hope it will help me.

I have always put others first, so coming here for help instead of giving it to others is hard to do. I also hope to offer support to you too .

I suffer with chronic fatigue as well as depression, so even though I would love to post everyday, I have to look after myself too and not feel under pressure to do too much. Using the computer exhausts me, you see, even though I really enjoy it.

I hope that I don't 'put my foot in it' or make any mistakes - I have never done this before and I hope you will let me know if I do !!

I'm off for a rest now ahhh - he's cute !

Don't feel so panicky now - poppet
