I wish I could read your mind too. If it is easier, you can send me a babblemail. I'd like to help. Maybe you can start small and just tell what you are most frightened of.
But you know what? You don't have to tell anything else to get support. You said you are scared and hurting and those were big things to admit and post. I wish I could just wrap you up in a warm blanket (it is foggy and cold here today) and sit with you on my swing. It is peaceful and my kitties are really friendly. One purrs so loud that I think you can hear him a block away. And he likes to rest his chin on your arm in sort of a protective way. We wouldn't have to talk. We could just keep each other company. When I first starting talking about this stuff, I would end up in my therapist's office just sort of sitting quiet and absorbing his support. He said letting it out was a little bit like going into shock again and sometimes you needed to just sit and be emotionally held by someone who knew the secrets and could allow you your pain without trying to fix it. He always just offered quiet strength and support until I was ready to talk again. I hope you have someone who does that for you.
I hope you know that we don't keep score here. Everyone gives and takes at different rates at different times. You need right now. That is OK. I hope we can give you what you need. I hope you'll let us.
