And thank you so very much for your response, I definitely appreciate that a lot and won't be afraid to reach out to chat and open up about thoughts and feelings or other things :slight_smile:

    I have gone through all the emotions from anger, shame, loneness, depression, worthlessness, to almost taking my own life as a teenager. I am just starting to be able to feel happiness. I am new here also and I think it will be a good place to talk to other people. Cause you are NOT alone. In the next week or so I am going to write my story. Look for it, I promise you will see your not the only one who has felt ashamed!
