I Almost Feel Guilty...

I’ve only been in this community for less than a week, and I almost feel guilty in saying how happy I feel. I’ve made some virtual acquaintances and I think I’ve also made a friend. How wonderful is that? I know this is a place where people come to post some of their darkest secrets and fears, and trust me I’m sure I have plenty of that to share, but it hit me over the past few days that being alone in this torturous journey is probably top five in the list of worst parts. I never felt comfortable enough to be completely honest with anyone about how dark, hateful, graphic and mindless my mind was at times. I’d been tired of skirting around the topic of mental health, just to see how someone else’s reaction would be. I hated it when people acted as though it was something that was beneath them, when I could see by some of their actions or stories, that they were just as broken as or even more so than me. Choosing to come here and purge myself of those things has helped to lift the heaviness from me. Knowing that there are people here that truly understand and support me, goes with me throughout my day, and anticipating coming back each day to read and write has inspired me and made me happy, so I almost feel guilty (but not). Thank you so much, whoever created this space. With Love Always…AU

Life can really hurt sometimes. I know that I’m not the only one with problems, but then I feel bad for everybody. So when any person has a good thing to report, I’m happy. It gives me hope that if things can get better for one person, they can get better for other people, too.
