I’ve NEVER for this before…

[Youcandream18]

I’ve never shared my thoughts/life before, I’ve never had social media; it just didn’t interest me and I’m more of a private person. However, the past year has been extremely difficult that I’m excluding all uncomfortable territory and reaching out for help. I’m not even sure how to maneuver through this support chat site, I’m soo “green” when it comes to all this. But all I can do is try; so please be kind and ANY and ALL advice anyone can offer…I’m here to absorb like a sponge! Thank you.

Oh my gosh; thank you for your offered help. I appreciate that. Especially with all this being soo new… between the “social media” and “asking for help” it’s a lot of NEW to navigate through. I appreciate your support.

Of course. It's what I'm here for!

It's actually what we are all here for. To support and care. It has taken a great deal of courage for you to come on here and in a way, 'bare your soul to strangers.' So well done, and welcome. And yet it is the best way, because we are all unseen. I hate social media, I hate modern technology - and yet both are helpful in their own way. It is good to be able to read through the comments of others, you don't have to respond to all of them, but you will find you will be drawn to some of the posts. Sometimes they will be totally relevant to YOU, other times, you may find you have first hand experience and may feel you are able to share what you have learned about yourself and give others inspiration. My advice to you would be - especially concerning your comment, I'm here to absorb.' - Absorb by all means, but do not allow yourself to take on the worries and fears of anxiety and depression of others. You will have enough of your own to cope with. But do give positive feedback, then 'let it go'
