Default This is a safe place...
Kicker's thread got me thinking...

Do you say things here that you don't tell anybody in your "real" life? There's something about this community...there's always somebody who gets it. And sometimes all it take is one, just one person who understands.

I had just gotten out of the shower around 6 this evening, drying my hair, and all of a sudden it hit me: I didn't cry today! And then it hit me: There's nobody I can tell that to. And then it hit me: Yes there is. And so I just did.

Thumbs up B2y,.............................................. ...................................
I really thought, your question was interesting!
But, I was wondering, were you asking, whether, we ask things, here,
which, we don't feel *comfortable*, asking people in our "real" lives?
Or, did you mean, things, we really don't want others to know???
I mean, *anyone*, could find their way to this site and see all of our
posts?! Just, wondering!

Phyllis

Good point, Phyllis. Yes, this is a public forum, and I wouldn't post anything confidential or that could cause trouble for someone else.

I meant things that, for various reasons, I don't feel comfortable sharing with my family, friends, church, whatever.

B2Y, I love this thread, too! And I understand exactly what you mean. There's always someone here who "gets it" even when those in our everyday in-person real life don't. Especially for those of us with MS - the "misunderstood symptom" disease - because sometimes we look too good to feel so bad!
