I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

@Zoe7 - my heart goes out to you. I truely relate more than you know and there is no easy answers. But when you have time to heal things may look different and your perspective may change. Never say never - just for now. Which is wise as you need time to heal.
I feel humbled you opened up to me. I know we are annoymous here but you told me a lot about how you are feeling and I felt privileged. I know you don't know me from a bar of soap but I can sincerely say that if you opened up to me in real life, and some of my friends, we would never hurt you. That sounds simplistic when our spirits have been broken - I just want you to know there are people out there that you can trust. And to not allow anyone a chance into your heart ever would deprive them of someone as special as you.
You won't see it that way as the pain is so great - but it's true. There are people out there who need you. You gave many on here joy with your sense of humour, laughter, support, goodwill and intellect. Don't let one person take that away for the next twenty years.....
When we put up a wall it can be true that no one can touch our hearts to hurt us, but it is also true that we will never let anyone in to love us. We can't lose all the time my friend - odds are inevitable that we will eventually win. Never give up on love.
As you said you always listen to others and help them. Now it is time for us to help you. We are here for you always and I look forward to your next post. Sending you a warm hug 💕🌹

Thankyou all for last night. I did hear you all.
I really didn't think I would be back on the forum for a long time - if at all - but when it came to the point that I needed help this is the only place I could think of to come to. That says so much about all of you and the support that you give under any circumstances - no matter what is going on for each of your personally.
I do not know what the future holds - and really don't want to think about it - it's too much at the moment.
What I do know is that I am not going to change who I am - and that may mean that I continue to be hurt and let down by others but my loyalty and compassion for those I really care about mean more to me than the pain.
In regards to my friend: she is too important to me and too special a person to give up or walk away from. Whatever is happening for her my heart and my arms will always stay open to embrace her, care for her and want to support her in any way I can. Yes I am putting her needs and well-being before mine - but that is my choice and something I feel very comfortable doing despite any hurt or pain I may feel. I believe she is worth it and that alone is enough for me to want to continue our friendship and be here to support her in whatever form it may take in the future.
Thankyou everyone
