Seeking comfort in a different form

[ZBK]

I’m typically very private and stay away from forums or chats. It’s difficult for me to open up let alone write anything down however my days are turning dark. I have been in therapy for a year, have a loving supportive circle of friends and family but can’t get myself to open up to anyone. Not sure what I’m looking for in here but if anyone can help give me suggestions on how to be able to share my story to my therapist and start my journey of healing I’d be so gratelful. It makes me sick thinking of even verbalizing it.

Hi ZBK

A warm welcome to isurvive.
Maybe begin by posting support to others, as you leaf through the forums? Let your fingers do the talking

welcome!

i am also a really private person and have the hardest time opening up verbally or in "real" life. i absolutely relate to feeling sick just thinking about it.

while i agree it's important to be cautious of what you share on most places of the internet, I've found this forum to be a very safe and supportive environment. it has allowed me to write and share things here that i could never dream of saying out loud.. at least not yet. I think writing here, surrounded by people who understand, is a great place to start.

take your time looking around and post when you're ready
