I don't exactly know where to post this but here it is. I posted the thread "Trying to diet" and I showed you a little bit of myself. I was fine with that at first. Later I didn't feel fine at all, I wished I wouldn't have told you about my hideous weight and my past. I was embarrassed to come back here so I stayed away. I do that all the time. Whenever I show something of myself, next thing I clam up and ignore you. I'm so sorry I did that but wonder at the same why. I don't know... and now that I have had a 'few' beers, I feel like I can tell you the whole story... my life story.... but don't be surprised if I'll stay away for weeks....

Debbie, Try picking one person to talk too by pm maybe??? some people are not good at handling their own pain so will not handle others respectfully....it does feel very exposed when you open up online and cannot see peoples reactions.

Twilight, I'm glad you came back. Use this place in whatever way works for you. There's no pressure.

Twilight, I do the same thing. I think it's because I'm not used to admitting I need help and support - I'm used to pretending (especially for my kids) that everything's ok. Also I live in a small town - if I confide in friends just how unwell my husband is, his chances of getting another job will be minimal. I can't tell anyone he's bipolar, except for my friends and vital support group here. Thank you to those brave enough to share your stories - you don't know what a difference you make. I do this all the time...

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
