Not sure how to post here...a large part of me wants to just spill/confess about my sexual confusion, believed abuse as a toddler, etc....but never sure if it's "safe" to do so...I feel funny discussing it with a therapist, like it's titillating, dirty or maybe just plain embarrassing...I guess this topic is very private and thus the difficulty in disclosure...anyway, I'll be back...
 
Take your time. Go at your own pace. You will find great amounts of support here.
 
You have all the time in the World, we are not therapists, but a group of brothers who care, and have been there.

Sharing the burden is a great therapy for me and so many here, finding answers to questions you do not dare ask anyone all your life. What a relief to finally find this place.

Peace

acacia,

welcome to a group of great brothers here.

sorry both you and i and the others had to be here but we are and we are working on getting healed ( or at the least at being better than we were before we showed up here or at a t).

no pressure here, no time limits,just what you want to share and post.

nothing is too odd, surprising, or difficult to take. me, our brothers, and possibly you have been altered and changed from our experiences. some for the good, and some for the not so good.

i have been here only 4 months or so now. i hid mine from when i was ten for 31 years.

finally dealing with it, do have a t. am i o.k.?, hell no, a long way to go but my secret is now out and i am beginning a path of i don't know what. but i am here, i am alive, i am breathing, and i am focused that i gotta get better or at least learn to live with the shit i hid for so long. i am no longer living a lie or pretending i am strong and all that bullshit.

take care, p.m. me if you have any questions or needs.

take care, guy
 
Welcome,

All in your own time, there is no schedule. Whenever you feel like sharing your story, pains, concerns, and/or questions; feel free to.

Take care,

what you wrote there sounds familiar to most of us, disclosing is frightening.

But it's got to be done if we want to heal, and I can assure you that disclosing some or all of your abuse here is a safe thing to do. We don't pass judgement, we don't run a league table of abuse severity or anything like that.
What we do is support and help, based on our own experiences. We've been there, and now we're moving on. So join us, you're welcome here.

Acacia,

I want to add my welcome to the others.

Disclose what you want, when you are comfortable. Just know that you are in a safe place here and we really all are a bunch of brothers.

Peace,

Marc
 
When you don't feel like writing, just read what others are saying. You will soon see that you are not as alone as you might have thought. When you feel like you have something to say, just say it. Unless you are trying to be intentionally cruel to someone here, you will be welcome.

Glad you are here.

Acacia,
Welcome to the family!
Never feel pressuered to share anything. Only share when and what you are comfortable with. We are a big support system here. Feel free to pm us if you ever need to. We are willing to talk about whatever you need.

Acacia, Welcome to the group. I'm also having some problems with posting. No ones fault here, just my own insecurity. Like I was told by many here, take your time. Post when you feel ready. I'm starting to feel more ready just reading others storys. I've cried here reading, I've felt up-lifted by progress made by others and I feel bad when others aren't doing so well that, were. It's a hard situation we've been thrown into. We will survive.

Good Luck Friend,

Devon
