Morgsy,
I'm in awe too. I have a hard time also! May have connected with you once before but glad to see you here.


Hopeful

Hey Morgs

Well you just did it! Good move - it's hard to ask for help/ support and to trust you can get what you need from others - as well as giving. I definitely struggle with it so you are not alone.

so here you go from me too.

Mate. You just have to give it a go. You just start small, type out the best you can do without stressing too much and learn from the others. I never thought I would get the hang of it at all - but the more i post, the more I am getting used to it.

Ya just have to spill ya guts. And don't delete for at least 2 weeks!

Somedays

((((MORGS)))))

I for one am so happy you reached out for support on a shitty day.

Morgs, hi. I am in awe, too!!

I want to do it so badly....I keep thinking if I keep trying it will get easier, and I will actually be able to do it.

Sorry you are having a shit day! Please don't kill the thread.

Dearest Morgsy,

Well I am glad you lef it up long enough to receive some heartfelt replies that might just lift you a little. You are right, it is sometimes hard for some people to express their own hurts, but you are one of those lovely people who give so much on this forum to others without asking for anything in return. So I'm figuring that it must be your turn easily by now to have a bit of love and support in return.

The only way to do it is to practise ....just like you have today, and see, it works

Thank you so much people for your thoughts/words/care/hugs - they do help!! This is always a bad time of year for me and to have friction in the office as well was just a bit much!! Thank you again and hugs back to you all. Morgs xx

i also struggle with this A LOT but seeing familiar and sweet faces around gives me hope.. that whether i deserve it or not, there are people who will listen and care!

i hope you can tell us what is going on for you - if you want to share.

hugs,

(((Morgs))) You're scared because it's scary. When our earliest experiences are that expressing ourselves didn't work out well it makes sense that we wouldn't rush to do it now. You provide so much compassion and care for other people here, you would be doing us a real service to allow us to hear you when you're hurting and return the favor.

I know that what you give, you give freely, because you want to and you care. I know that you are expecting rejection and condemnation but that won't happen here. This is a chance to step out into the terrible fear and experience something different. But know that you are cared for and cherished whether you speak or not.

Morgs - I'm thinking it's so good to see you poke your dear head up from behind that couch and tell us you had a crummy day. I hope that your day goes better- you are a sweetie. I sish I could say more.

Love,

Beebs

i'm always curious about how you're doing ((morgs)) it is scary to post... and I'm sorry it is such a rough time of year for you right now.

Hello there Morgsy
Just thought I would check into today and see how you are ?
JMBx

(((JMB))) thank you - you are so thoughtful - I'm just about to have something to eat then sack out!!! I'll see my T tomorrow after 3 weeks - perhaps the break also added to my emotional vulnerability this week you take care of all of you my friend!

PS - thank you so much all of you - i just cannot respond individually and do hope that's not a problem - i just don't have that many words! i really do regard so many of you as family and am a trifle (actually heaps) gobsmacked that people actually may care back!!! s to you all.

Hey Morgsy
You get some rest there if you can, and I hope the reconnect with T is okayish after the gap you have had.
Go gently
JMBx

Hey Morgs,
Sorry to hear that you are having a shitty day. Takes plenty of courage to talk about it at times though, I get it.

For me it is often the fear of expecting people to confirm that I am not worthy enough to be cared about by them ignoring me. Plain terrifies me. Other times I just don't want to bother anyone with what is going on with me as everybody is already carrying their own problems.

Just keep trying, it will get easier over time.

Hope your session tomorrow goes well. Three weeks is a long break. I hope you re-connect well with T and that it will be a valuable meeting for you.

((((MORGS))))

It feels nice to let in that caring. There are so many caring people here, including you. I'm sorry to hear about the friction at work and I'm sure it doesn't help that you've had such a long therapy break. Friction at work really stinks.

Hope today is better.



Liese

Thanks to you all for your care and warmth!! I wish I could respond to you all individually but honestly there's not that many words within me!

I met with my T today - thank God we never have a problem reconnecting after breaks and I was able to let things out in a bumbling teary way and although I feel crappy, it helped!!

So, between my forum friends who mean a great deal to me and my T, I'll pick up again!

Thanks so much all of you. s

So pleased your session went well and you have your T's support back firmly ......we are still here though when you ever need us

starfishy

dear (((starfishy))) - I will always be here or around as my forum family are SO SPECIAL to me!

I hope you're felling a little less wobbly. Be gentle with yourself. s
