Anyone else terrified of posting on forums?

Because I apparently am. I'd rather sit here and type up something and then delete it/rinse/repeat three times before finally posting or giving up entirely...

Please tell me I'm not alone.

You're not alone at all!! This is me 100%
It took me the longest time to finally post on this site and before that, I would seriously think up a whole reply to a post but never even attempt to type it out. Even now, I stare at my replies for several minutes before finally posting it. But I'm slowly starting to overcome that as I get more involved in this site because it's such a caring and accepting community. Trust me, don't hold in what you want to say. Letting your voice be heard is seriously such a relieving feeling.

I used to be a pretty frequent poster on PC a few years ago, but the members of the forum I posted in most had a bit of a falling out. And I had a few bad experiences...But that was a while ago now.

Now I'm trying to psych myself up to ask my PCP for a referral to a therapist because my anxiety has gotten worse in the last six months, and that's kind of saying something...

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess that's bound to happen when there are so many different personalities and opinions, even on here. I'm really happy to hear that you're trying to find a therapist though. Just don't let that anxiety flare up even worse or it's gonna get ugly. You can always PM me if you'd like to vent.

it is scarry starting out, but after awhile you'll see the same people and new ones too that will give you courage to continue-good luck
