I want to talk so bad. I did a little today in chat but I didn't say everything. I am trying to stay strong. I don't have the strenght to talk. I wish I were stronger!

[thine_self_untrue]

That's exactly how I feel. I'm holding it all inside and D*** it hurts!

[caring_whiterose]

I don't know what to do!

YOu can talk to me if you want. PM me if you feel uncomfortable talking out here. I'm happy to listen and help if I can, or just quietly listen if that's what you want instead.

I tried talking in chat and got the courage. I said a sentance and then lost it.

Awww, pootypoo! I've been in chat only a couple times so far, but I LOVE to read what you have to say! (We were in chat together just a few days ago, and I'm thinking, hey there's pootypoo! Yea! )
Think it's safe to say that folks show up there simply to talk in something like real time with others who go through a lot of the same things, so if ever there were an empathetic group... you know?
In real life it seems we have few such opportunities, so I really really hope that thinking on this encourages you, because what you have to contribute is important! So often, when someone posts or says something they are experiencing, it is such a relief to me -- that even when the thing is a hard one -- at least it helps to not feel so alone. So often the person saying it will feel so reticent, and yet they can bring a relief to others that is palpable. So, in fact, sharing things actually very much does help others too, you know?
I really hope to see -- and hear-- you in chat again soon (hehe, I unintentionally miss them because I lose track of what day it is... but that's another story... ), 'k pootypoo? Truly I do. In the meanwhile, lots o'

(You too, thine self untrue ... While of course I don't wish many of the things we go through on anyone, knowing that others do is a comfort.... again with the not feeling so alone thing... and the contributions of everyone here are so precious to me. I have no such thing in real life and truly appreciate when folks do share, so I hope to get to read/hear from you as well, ok?)
