I know everyone means well, but I need this and I feel like it is being taken away and I am being chastised for wanting an open space.

I wanted a place we could share day to day stuff that freaks us out due to PTSD and trauma. I don't think it helps anyone for us to share in secret, I go to therapy for that.

I wanted people not to feel so alone, and now I feel incredibly alone. Nauseated in fact.

Is there something better I can name a thread that is open for us to discuss daily stuff where people who are not comfortable to actually share can at least know they are not the only one. I hate the idea of a secret password.

I need a thread for discussion and support and this one seems to have been led in a completely different direction.

Seriously, if you need this thread to be a private group chat 2 hours a week, great, but help me know what to name a thread that those of us who are past being afraid or just don't care can use.

I certainly want to show my support and appreciation for you starting this thread, and for making me feel like I am not alone, that I have open space. Sadly, I'm not quite ready to share some of my experiences or causes to my PTSD... they are very extensive and painful. But because of your thread and support I have found here at BFP, I am more willing to face my fears instead of hiding them and making them worse. For right now, until I get a bit more courage, I wanted to thank you. I am sorry I didn't do so earlier, my deepest apologies.
