What a few days I have had. Since joining this group I have become more open and real with "strangers" or friends. I'm not sure which I like more. It is so nice to finally find a place where I can be my true self and not scare anyone. I've only had a few posts, but the response from the team members has helped me have the courage to be more than I am now. Thank you.
The stories I am reading are sounding so familiar to me. Wow I am not alone. I may become addicted to reading this site for a while just to reassure myself that what is happening or has happened to me is not unusual.
For the most part I'm a scared person that wants to speak out, but doesn't want to be rejected. That's probably true for many many people. I've felt rejected so many times that when I find a place that accepts who I am, it is awesome.
I have truly changed. Not saying I'm going to post any stories about myself, but I can be myself at least a few minutes each day. That is cool!
