Morning, hope you all had a good weekend.
I have to back away from this for a bit, it's
all becoming somewhat overwhelming for me. I never though I'd share any of my thoughts or feelings or songs or poetry here, but I have and it felt good to get it out but it also feels dangerous to me, uncomfortable and like I'm getting too close... I don't know how else to explain it. I feel like I've hit a brick wall, I want to back away, close myself up again, go back into hiding....
I don't know what I can do about it.
For those of you who have my email, feel free...
Thanks,
Jay
 
well, hang in there. i believe this is a good place. you dont have to put your life out there all at once. go slow, and share as you feel like it. do what you need to do for you.
 
Jaysen,

It's all good. This place can overwhelm you and we all need to take breaks from time to time.

Take care,

Nobby
 
I can't stay away, I should probably take a break because I'm right on the edge here but I can't, I want this out of me, I'm tired, I don't want to fight this anymore
 
Jaysen, I know the feeling of wanting to no longer hide. I've hidden all my life and I'm almost thirty. Whatever you do, be okay with it. Don't think in terms of shoulds otherwise you may feel shame when you can't live up to those ideals. Just ask yourself what is best for you right now? Rest? Sharing? Reading something inspirational? Whatever it is put all your heart into it and don't worry what others think of you.

To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst be false to any man. --Shakespeare

Jay,

Whatever you do, wherever you go, please know that you have touched our lives. My hope is that you can check in with us from time to time to let us know how you're doing. It can be very important to not let it out all at once. Sort of regulate the flow. That is something therapists are good at helping us with.

Too much all at once can overwhelm a person and cause them to make decisions that are not necessarily for the best. I think you are perhaps experiencing that need to slow it down some.

One thing I noted in my own life was that I could not just stop and go back to the way things were before the sh*t hit the fan. Others here have mentioned the same thing. The secret is to learn how much you can do and stick to that pace.

Remember, you are loved.

John
