So I wanted to overcome my friendship situation by venting out here, that’s safe isn’t it? My goal is to feel surrounded. Especially on msf, before I move on to real life (I plan to attend college and then make friends my age 😊 till then, youngsters will have to do!)
But I don’t know how to track progress because this is based on my feelings Any ideas? |

Rip Leo.
Are there any other things in life that can’t be forced? |

That’s a wonderful thing to know that everyone have their free will
Personally, I love freedom And I want my friends also to have that I Realise there is no black and white That either we have control or we don’t In fact, I think we have some control but not fully And the only control we have while talking with others is what we have on our self I suppose I should just go with the flow By the way, my support form is a wonderful place I love it here It’s like a little family love you all |

Glad you are finding MSF a good, safe place to talk about tge things bothering you. It is where I started years ago before finding the exceptional therapist I had for years.
As for tracking progress, some find journaling to be a benefit. I never journaled.....lol....I would just look back years later & think WOW, I can't believe all these wonderful changes have happened in my life from the skills I learned in therapy. I just got together with a group of ladies from my therapy DBT group we were in & we were all saying the same thing. We had the best therapist for both private & the group & were together for years then followed her into her private practice. My first private therapist there retired & when she left she said she never thought she could break through the walls I had built around myself but was so happy to see that they did. I sensed it was happening cause life & relationships with others felt different than it had all my life in a very good way. I grew up around dysfunctional parents & married a dysfunctional husband (I finally left). Learning functional skills through DBT & a wonderful therapist & being surrounded by wonderful people where I moved to was the perfect foundation for change to be built on __________________ Leo's favorite place was in the passenger seat of my truck.

That’s so nice to hear that you have surrounded yourself with people, that helps when journaling is tough
I started journaling when I was 11 years old. It has been around 9 years since, and I have begun to reach out to others now. It feels great. |
