Title: Sorry for not contributing more
Post by: Dazed1 on November 07, 2006, 01:20:08 PM
Hi All,

I wanted to say that I am sorry that I am not contributing more to this board.

This board had been SO HELPFUL to me.  I really want to give back and help others.

I read posts and want to say something to help, but, right now, I'm so overwhelmed myself, that I feel that the only person I can help right now is me.  Is this N of me?  Does this show my co-dependency?

I feel that my big problem is that I am very co-dependent, mostly because I suppose I desperately need approval.  I believe I took a lot of crap from my parents and I guess I did not (and still do not) know what "normal" is.

Anyway, just wanted to thank everyone who has posted here and who have helped me.

Dazed

Hi Dazed,

You will know when you are ready to post.  No need to feel pressure here.  Everybody is doing the best they can.  I suppose lots and lots of people come to this site just to read and feel less alone.  At any one time it seems to me like there are more guests here than members logged in.

And you know, the Ns I know wouldn't even be able to get their minds around a place like this--let alone worry about whether they are contributing enough.  So, I'm guessing you're voiceless and not N  :D .

No.

No apologizing needed. You're here, you're welcome and you can not post, post a little, post never, post anything you want in any way you want.

(This post dedicated to Jac.  :))

Welcome again, Dazed. Take your time, ask for all you want. We can respond or not respond, we have the same free choice.

Glad you're here!

Hops
