i am too scared of going into chat..... and then i make myself feel i dont belong at RYL!!

[Sleepless123]

I have never been into RYL chat

Because im too scared.But then cos of my being too scared i make myself feel that i dont belong at RYL.

But i really need it,or some support, at the moment

[Sleepless123]

Typical.

And im tired

And tired of being left to cope......no matter what.

hey, not sure I can say much right now... but I feel the same.. I also can't make myself go into the chat, and often don't feel I fit in here...
I just wanted you to know you're not the only on ein this... and didn't want your post to go unanswered

Thank you. It is good to know that someone is out there and can identify.im sorry that you feel like this too though.

I just cant get over the chat thing and just feel so alone anyway.

And also am struggling with how much I and also others in my life seem to expect me to be able to deal with alone. It is overwhelming me.

I have only just realised i have expected myself to cope with so much alone and thats not a bad thing but one day im just gonna collapse and not be able to hold it all by myself anymore, hold it all up...but then i realised others are expecting it of me too......and why shouldnt they when i obviously expect it of myself.....but im kind of angry......i shouldnt be i know.......

im just angry that they have left me to it too.

But thats wrong isnt it.

no its not wrong
i agree utterly, it feels like you're a bad person for wanting help or support etc, but you'd help your friend or family out, i guess it oughta be a two way thing (this said i feel exactly like you,how much easier it is to give rather than take advice)
*hugs*
i'm here if you need to talk,either on the thread or pm me xx

Hiya Sleepless,

I was very nervous the first time I talked in RYL chat. Actually, I didn't talk, I just watched! But the more you try and come in, the more people get used to you and draw you into conversations a lot quicker, although it can be nervewracking I agree!

I am a bit of a "regular" in chat now, I'm on a lot of the time so if you ever feel ready to pop your head in and say hello, I'll more than likely be in there and happy to talk to you. We're a friendly bunch really, but I know how scary it is when you first go in. There's two special Support rooms that you can go in and ask for someone to talk to or I'd be happy to talk with you in one if I'm online at the time.

Hope that this has made you feel a bit more at ease and look forward to hopefully chatting to you soon. Either way, I'm only a PM away if you need to talk more :)

Chelsea xx
