[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 135412"] Michele - Please don't feel as if you can't post when you feel you need to. It's why we're here. I know how it feels to put things out there and how insecure that makes one feel. Completely. But the people here really do care. Like Steely said, we're not just screen names and avatars - it's real, live people on the other side of the screen. This board has become like a family to me. (And much better than my 'real' family, too. Thankfully. ;) ) I know I've posted so much about my physical stuff that at times I feel like it must seem I'm looking for sympathy or pity and that makes me feel insecure. I know I'm venting and am frustrated, but I worry about what others will think. And then I remind myself of all the support every member has given to others and how it's always been genuine. And I try to quash my own insecurity on the matter. If that makes any sense. If not, it's because my brain has shrank. :raspberry-tounge: (I have a built in excuse! Na na na na!) It's hard to put yourself out there. But all of us need help and support from others at times. It's part of being human. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
