I've always been somehow who has struggled to process emotions or express them, but lately I've learnt at the ripe age of 32, that you can't help yourself, if you don't allow others in to help you. No matter how big or small the issue at hand may be, there is always someone there to listen, and I don't know how it took me so long to understand that. Probably through my own stubbornness, or I don't know why I always link it to my disability, I think I do have some if not a lot of trust issues, but that's down to me to overcome that...and I guess by admitting that, that's one step walked up already.

Tell me if I am being an idiot.


P.S Bazza, you're a top man for what you're doing.
Not being an idiot far from it. As the saying goes you can't help someone that won't help themselves. You can see specialists etc but you know the best therepists are ? Your best friend and family. No one will ever in that circle judge you and always just want what's best for you.

Yes . . . . you're being an idiot, marra :emoticon-0148-yes:







Seriously, by now you'll know that this/our little village is full of people who are willing to help in any way (with the odd exception) that we can . . . . talking, going for a pint or whatever.
All that you need to do is to tell us how you'd like us to help <hug>
As far as I'm concerned your/anybody's problem is ours :emoticon-0105-wink:
