Technical advice, please?

I have multiple mental and physical health issues, in addition to the fact that I have no one to talk to. I am easily overwhelmed and instead of just jumping in and joining a bunch of groups, I wanted to start a blog. But, I cannot seem to figure out how! Lately, my frustration-tolerance has been at an all time low, and today, when I finally decided to tell my therapist about some issues I have been avoiding for quite some time, he informed me that he will be leaving the VA hospital on the 30th of September! I am in a better space than I have been recently, but I can also be paranoid, and would feel more comfortable blogging than posting to public forums. I hope I am not a bother, but can someone please help!

Hi WantUnderwhelming, welcome to the Forum.

You know, this place is actually great for talking. It's anonymous, we don't know you, yet we are very supportive and you may even make some friends... After all, it's easy over an internet and it does help you vent, and talk

You won't be "jumping and joining a bunch of groups", rather just writing, getting replies, you can make friends when you are ready.

As for Blogs, unfortunately, this is a privilege for our members, and so you have to post 33 posts thereabouts to be able to do that, as well we have a Visitors page where you can make friends and communicate there and you can load photographs in Albums.

You know, sometimes a new therapist is good for you.. Someone different, a different perspective.. see it as a plus, not a negative.

We hope that you stay with us.

WantUnderwhelming...
WH, (womens health) require you to have 33 posts, becoming a member before you may blog. By posts that means to respond to any of the threads here... If you choose a more comfortable area to start is the Lounge, Fun topics.

Thank you both for your advice, information, and encouragement! I like the idea about the new therapist...I only hope it doesn't take me long to get a new one, because there was a lapse of several years between this one and the last! And oh my, would I like to have some fun! I desperately need a tension-breaker...on my way to the Lounge!
