Hiyaaah’

My name is Mi’chelle and I don't really know how this site works.. I’m nervous about putting myself out there for fear of judgement. I hope I can have some really good conversations with a lot of you!!

Welcome! I felt the same way about putting myself out there too. Once you put your first dilemma out there you will find a lot of very helpful and kind people. People who have been where you are. Just jump in and swim!!!

Welcome to our little band of misfits. I say that with love. I've seen what passes as normal in this world. No thank you. Happy to be a misfit. No not happy -- proud. Give us time & you'll learn we can be trusted. But don't take my word for it. Trust is earned. And we will work on that for you. Welcome.

Please don't think you are alone in this, I love the attachment you are not a ten dollar bill, but and this is fundamental you do need to focus on you and your needs, this is way harder than anyone will admit, it all sounds like seft pitty and self indulgence, but the key word there is SELFUntil you can k ow your triggers and have a coping mechanism if difficult to move on, trust me we all know what your going through, and you are not alone! You have said you feel anxious about being on here, you can private message any of us, the important thing is you've been strong enough to make the fist step and this is the hardest part, and you've done that, if you like it's your first baby step, but trust me you'll be up and running before you know it, it's not a quick fix but if you think of it as a journey ("are we there yet") only you will know when you are there!

We are all individuals, and all need slightly different approaches to the journey, some need to take the scenic route other like the motorways.

I hope this makes sense?

Form the message you put out I would think a scenic possible coastal route us for you, it's long but very enjoyable and Oh the views are amazing!

Stay strong and reach out as often as you can

Hi and welcome Mitchell's

Oh, sweety you have nothing to worry about. Here people are very supportive and loving. Better still, you can hide your secretes until you feel one individual whom you can share your stress with in private chat. People are available. You can also have that avatar and vent it out, we don't know you until you are comfortable. Welcome again
