May I rant on your shoulder please?

[Maverick]

I agree with what's already been said, and I'd like to also emphasize the importance of opening up with someone, anyone close to you about what's going on. I think it's important to "let it out" and share with someone; I think it can be very therapeutic. Don't go through this tough time "alone", lean on others who care for you. Don't discount them, they would want to know and help where they can.

I'm not "discounting" everyone here on this forum, and I know many are sincere and care deeply as well. But this group is an "on-line" support group, we can't be there "physically" to lend a hand, speak "face-to-face", and give you a shoulder to cry on. I personally hope you can get past any feelings of shame or blame and "open up" to someone close to you. I truly feel that will help, and it might "open the floodgates" of emotions so you can start to heal. I don't think it's healthy to try and "go at it alone", it's noble, but not healthy....

My two cents, for what it's worth...
