what am I

Right now I am so mad that I am actually typing. I have been looking at this site for days, today I finally got up enough guts to join.  All day I have been trying to talk and I couldn't. I figured everyone would think I was weird.  I can't seem to do much of anything. I know I have had some problems, but how do you get enough guts to live.

What is going on that makes you feel this way to begin with? Do you have thoughts that make you feel life is not worth living? Have you spoken to anyone about this?  Have they started on their own? Or because something went wrong in your life? When did they start? Perhaps you could explain more and we could provide some ideas from there.

I am so glad that you finally got pissed enough to write to us! Sometime that is exactly what it takes to let go of the baggage...........to share what is going on inside.
Please know that there is nothing we haven't heard or that someone else here hasn't dealt with. As was stated above, we don't judge ANYONE here. We are ALL here because we have problems we need to talk about, to learn about, to get support and understanding for.........and often we find it HERE for the first times in our lives.
Nobody here is going to think you're "weird!" Please trust me on that.
You ask how we get enough guts to live. For many of us, it's through the support and compassion and yes, LOVE, that we find on this fourm, which becomes like family after awhile.
Please, you found the "guts" to finally write, so that tells me that you are much stronger than you think. You've taken a huge step in reaching out to us. Now take the next step and tell us what's going on so we can reach out to YOU!
Peace

Welcome!!!  You are in the right place!!!!  Like lydia stated, there is NOTHING (trust me, nothing!) that we haven't already heard.  No one will think you're "weird" because every one of us is weird in our own way as well!!!!  :0)

When you feel comfortable, please feel free to share with us and let us try to help you.

Nothing in life is worth giving up, even though we know it sure feels that way.  

Glad you stumbled upon our little group here.....Club Weirdos!  :0)  Of course I say that to get a smile or a laugh out of you...b/c laughter truly IS the best medicine.

Anger, while destructive, can also be constructive and sometimes it is that anger that gets us through.
Living one moment at a time helps.  It's OK to break things down and making progress (no matter how small) can motivate us to persevere.
Posting was a start.  That can be a huge achievement for some people.  Just posting and sharing your fears and concerns can also help.  Feeling that connection to other people also helps.  It can help you feel less alienated and alone.  Maybe even more normal in a sense.  Reaching out is a big step.  Don't underestimate it.
People often post because they have their own issues.  You're not alone there.  You're no more or less weird than anyone else.
