Good idea Redfox, will do.

NewOrleans:
Melatonin, I too had a problem with deleting posts until it was pointed out how selfish and rude it was to do that. I agree that sometimes we type out a comment, post it and then wish we didn't. If I might suggest, as Scarlett too recommends, to write a draft, sleep on it and then in the morning see if it's what you want to truly say before either posting or tossing it. The hardest part, for me, at least, is being honest about my wretched, embarrassing and stupid shortcomings.  But that is what this forum is here for and none of us are immune from needing help. Nevertheless, there's kindness and acceptance that we're all in the same boat ....

Hi NewOrleans, thats what i plan to do in future.  :)  Thanks for understanding.

truth seeker:
I think it also may be helpful to keep in mind that we've all done things that we're embarrassed about. Sometimes it's warranted, other times, it's really about our own narrative and "all in our heads" but we'll never really know unless we share with others who can help us to view it more objectively. If we never bring it out into the light, it just sits, festers and keeps us feeling small and alone. A very heavy burden, I think.

The times that I've shared personal things about myself were difficult indeed, but one of the lessons I've learned and keep learning is how giving this forum can be. When I witnessed the compassion - the underlying care that is taken with the responses (not to be confused with having people tell me what it "wants" to hear) - I've always been touched by it. This compassion then serves to "feed" that part of me that has been so lacking for so very long and in turn allows me to be more compassionate with others. Basically a gift that keeps on giving. Quite amazing how it works. :)

NewOrleans:
Thank you, Truthseeker. Compassion IS healing for all the fragmented parts of ourselves - myself- and exposure for this predator mind that wants to hide in lies. It takes honesty to speak and that is very hard sometimes. Your words are encouraging.
