Although this Board is anonymous, I think you should also credit yourself with sharing a bit here. I know it has its own kind of risks- replies are usually supportive/insightful, but you can also get no reply or someone sounding off at you, or sharing a negative experience.
I know my heart sinks a bit sometimes after I have sent a message revealing anything about myself- I feel really exposed. Tho relieved after I get a helpful reply, which makes it worthwhile.
Replies can be upsetting, but I'm *not* saying that people should be positive or agree all the time- its realistic that this isnt the case.So give yourself credit for 2 kinds of sharing (real and virtual)!
