@Former-Member It's pretty hard when I do eventually open up I remember what happened when I did prior then too a longgggg time ago. I was attacked!!! I am attacking everyone Hence my song the other day on a music thread.
I don't expect responses and I don't feel left left out I have made it this far on my own and hid what i have been through repetively at times. It does not matter what I do when I don't talk about it I am doing something wrong when I do talk about it I am doing something wrong again
You can only do what you can do @Former-Member and if that means that you show your emotions then so be it - you can't keep it all bottled up inside all the time - it is like shaking a fizzy drink bottle - as soon as you ope that lid it is going to burst out everywhere - that is where you are sitting t the moment - so you need to stop shaking the bottle and open the lid slowly to let out a little at a time - and I am here listening for as long as you need tonight Hon.

Re: My journey
You never know @Former-Member - she reached out to contact you so she might want to catch up at some point. Don't shut yourself off completely - leave the door open for a later date Hon.

Re: My journey
A volcano and an iceberg - wow you have it all going on @Former-Member - that says to me that you are feeling nothing but ready to explode - that does not sound like a good combination

Re: My journey
Feeling everything, then all of a sudden I don’t care about anything then I care about everything then I don’t. But there’s a lot inside. People just pretend to care

Re: My journey
I am defintiely not pretending @Former-Member otherwise I wouldn't be here for you - it totally sucks what you are feeling (and not feeling) right now. I know also it is hard to be able to let some of this out with your daughter to look after too - but you are doing a good job by being connected here Hon.

Re: My journey
Right now I’d just prefer to harm and punish myself @Zoe7 so everyone else that wants to hurt me can leave me alone

Re: My journey
What happens if you do that though @Former-Member is you are the only one that is hurt - no-one else that is hurting you will know and if they did how much do you think those people would care - they are probably so into themselves that they wouldn't even see that you are hurting - it isn't fair but that is what the reality likely is. You can rise above those people by looking after you and your daughter Hon
