How do you talk about things that happened to you?

[Helena]

I, to be honest, have no idea why I am here.

I try to talk about stuff that happened to me but everytime I try to think about it, I do but I don't. I read people's threads and I dunno how you all can just say everything that has happened to you. I can write about anything, just not my past.

I just don't know how to say what I want to say or what I should write and it's kinda frustratin because I do want to say it. I went to a therapist and I didn't know what to say to her and so I lied and just made things up but I don't want to do that anymore.

Tips?

well we are all normally pretty trustworthy on sites like this
basically only share with us what you feel comfortable sharing
they call these teen forum sites for a reason. you ask questions or share something on your mind and we answer it for you. simple as that
don't feel pressured to share things you don't wish to

People open up so they can get helped. I know it's hard. But if you want some help, then you should open up. No one criticizes for what you say, unless it is against the rules. We are just here to help. :)

Like the other two posts and like you I've found it hard to open up and tbh sites like these are awesome you can get advice and talk to people your age going through similar issues and also people who have got through there issues who just want to help even just by listening

Frankly, everyone in the world has problems. I have more than I can count. And I openly say that. But think of it this way, this is a judgment free, place to vent. You will never meet these people, and yet all they want on here is to help. So voice your problems, you may be suprised what you turn up.

Start with a small step. One thing.
________ happened to me when I was ______ years old and it makes me feel ___________.

The thing about asking for help is you can only get it if you ask. It's hard to start. Believe me, I know. But I also know the more you talk about things the easier it gets and the more It helps. The hard part is just taking that first step.

I hope this helped at least a little, but I doubt that it did.
