hi all gosh this weathers so warm tonight but the thing is I would like to communicate/talk to family tonight so I can just talk to someone,its kind of like Im waiting on family to talk to me first hope that makes sense this hot weather is getting to me too pretty soon Ill be jumping in a cold shower,I keep telling myself at the momment that Ive just got the same issues as everyone else,but part of me wants to talk about it instead of being so distant thanks for listening as I feel like Im in genereal complaining too much lately about nothing

[LostAngel]

Hi @LostAngel 

I just wanted to reach out and offer you some support 

Feeling the need to reach out and connect with your family and yet feeling conflicted about initiating the first contact makes so much sense 

Sometimes, it really can feel as though we’re waging some sort of internal battle between the parts of us that so desperately want to connect with others for support and comfort and the other parts of us that make it so difficult for us to be able to do this 

This really can be such a distressing and confusing place to be 

I also just wanted to gently reassure you that there’s no judgment here and that your needs, thoughts and feelings are just as important as everyone else’s 

Thinking of you 

Take care,

ShiningStar
