We can come here 24/7, talk about what's on our mind and get feedback from others who have experienced some of the same or similar situations.
I have found that I don't have a problem telling the world wide web about psychological areas in which I need help. Sometimes I don't get any feedback, but that's okay. Sometimes I do get feedback and that's been helpful. Thank you.
Sometimes during my writing about a situation I get a light bulb moment on my own. Writing sometimes clarifies where I'm at and what I can do about it.
Have you found mylot to be therapeutic?

That's one of the great things about mylot joyce. It's open 24/7 and without a doubt, full of experience and opinion. We have to take the good with the bad, sift through it and take the good with us.
It's a great thing and personally, some of the people and opinions have changed my outlook on some things.
Writing is therapy for me. Heck, I write everything down.
Yes - mylot is therapeutic. And relatively cheap too.
LOL

I agree totally. It is a great place to vent your problems,and get advice from friends who have been there. I think it is easier to share personal things here that with rel time friends. I love this place.

I think so too, lightning. A lot of talk with my offline friends is superficial.
Yes to mylot group therapy :) lol

I believe it to be very therapeutic. I also go to other forums (Mommy boards) and ave a lot of friendships there where I do just this. But I am more open and say more there. The reason for this is that Mylot is HUGE. And, I am incredibly nervous about my family or someone seeing my name and photo and or just recognizing me. I am quite private in person and do not like to share everything with everyone in my life outside of here. That probably sounds crazy. But, its just the way it is for me. I talk to my husband. And my mommy friends the most. I come here and I read a lot. But sometimes I hold back on things in my personal life. Because, in the end this is not private and anyone can read anything and that scares me a little. The other forums I go to you have to be invited to primarily and approved before posting. That seems safer to me.
I have been trying to read and reply to your postings. I will try harder :) I get busy as I try to cook,clean and follow a daily schedule here as well. But, if you ever want to chat you can email me or msg me on here or if you are interested in a more private board just let me know. I find that there you get to know people a lot more one on one and feel like a "family".

I understand where you're coming from. you need to feel safe, as do I. I don't mind if somebody in my family "discovers" me here. For the sake of referrals, I might even invite them to join. However, they're pretty busy, so don't know if they'd be interested in joining.
Hannah, I wish I had a daily schedule. I get on rolls with mylot and tend to spend a lot of time here, letting other things go.
I was in a post yesterday (I don't recall the title). Someone the guy knew a long time ago saw his post in which he was talking about her, and got in touch with him. It's a small world, eh?

Most definitely.
Like you, I come here when some idea wants to be put out there. Whether I get an answer or not, it's okay. As long I've posted, the anxiety of forgetting things vaporize.
Definitely therapeutic.
