Just wanting to know if others find Trust a major issue in your life. For me it is one of the most important areas not only in my private life but also working life. Over the last few years especially when I have had a depressive episode I have found that there are only a few people I can really trust and feel confident to be totally honest with them.

You have not posted for a while. I saw you first registered with the forum ... nearly 4 years ago. You must be one of the original members!
I hope the group is helping.
I have serious trust issues, but I think I have masked them by low expectations and an attitude of putting up with rotten situations with lots of stoicism or endurance. As I raise my level of hope to .. that I actually matter my fear levels rise and become overwhelming.
A work in progress
Yes @Appleblossom
i don’t post often but I look at the forum everyday. Since I stopped working my confidence has taken a hit. There are times when I want to say something but I become so overwhelmed . The forums are great it makes me realise I am not alone in this mayhem of mental illness.
