Hi! Your posting name describes how I have been feeling for the past number of months. I can't wait to be fixed again.
Don't be sorry for going off. It helps to vent sometimes, even if it is to an anonymous person. I don't know if I use keeping things from everyone as a way to punish myself. I think I use it more to prove to myself that I am strong, independent and capable, which isn't always the case. I sometimes envy people who can be so open about their emotions, etc. It takes a lot of practice, and, probably a lot more strength to reveal onesself, warts and all, to others. Perhaps with time and practice, we will both learn to "share" more.
Coming this board has also helped me to understand that I am not alone in what I am going through. That, in itself, is a comfort at times.
Take care of yourself.

> Your original post was finally enough to convince me to register here. Thanks so much for at least showing me that I am not the only one that has to keep some things from everyone else. I wonder a bit about this, if it's another way I use to punish me. Sometimes it's a hell of a burden, and when you finally slip a little and someone sees how you really feel, they think you're yelling for attention, because you have "always been perfectly fine". Sorry to go off like that. In any event, thanks, just knowing other people are similar to me makes things better.
