everyone on here is very brave indeed, telling complete strangers their innermost thoughts and fears- it helps me to write down in a book how i feel-thats the only place i am truthful about how bad things are.wishing you all the very best xx

Hi, Poppyd, I agree with you.

Tried before writing a journal, except after eight months or so, looked back to see and read what I had written and found 'a certain' person had written in my journal. So tore out of my journal each page and shredded it. It totally broke my confidence and spirit/heart. So now I sit and read. Don't have the heart to put in writing in a blog my innermost thoughts.

Whilst I don't respond to everyone I do actually read everything. Some days on my bad days it would be unwise of me to reply as I may say something I will regret.

Best wishes to all. (This is a good day).

Same here. I only reply if I have something sensible to say (doesn't happen very often!), but I read everyone's posts. The thing about writing a blog is not so much that you're 'telling' people, but more that you're thinking aloud. And if people choose to read and respond, that's good. Or bad. Whatever you hoped for. I worry occasionally about my blogs being read by the wrong people and someone replying with a something cruel, but I try to limit the chances of that happening by choosing the 'only viewable by members' option before I post. I figure if someone has taken the time to register and become a member, they must fit sme of the criteria for posting here!

I'm glad writing here is helpful for you, it doesn't matter how it helps as long as it does. One of the good things about the site is that it is as anonymous as writing in a book and not letting anyone read it, except there's also the knowledge that some other people in the world know how we feel. That makes a lot of difference. Perhaps in time you'll feel able to write here too, you've already made a start.

Its a good way, of putting your feelings down on paper, sometimes I read them through, and see how far I have come.

Sometimes, the pages become your friend, dont forget maybe you could write a book , to help others, in the future. Because I can honestly say, some gps dont have a clue, how it feels
