It's wierd because I can ask questions about things on here but then when people email me, or even when I've tried to talk online to these hotline people I get scared can't say anything, even just like "hi" or anything. Does that ever happen to anyone else?

Yes. I asked to go to counseling. I got the best counseler I ever had. And I was making progress, but then she left. She moved to a different state. I had to see another counceler. I asked for it. I needed help. I went to 35 sessions, and I didn't make any progress. This is normal. You are afraid to make yourself vulnerable. You don't want to get hurt more. The way people treat you when you ask for help, how do you know a counceler won't do that? Right? In time, you will be able to get help. You will be able to say something to someone who emails you. It gets easier with time.

I have read some of your questions and I want to respond but hesitate,after some thinking about what your dilemma is i figured i would give it a shot and answer. You posted before that you cut, i am familiar with this and think the reason some people do it is because they have a difficult time expressing how they truly feel. The reasons your having such a hard time could be many. Maybe you have a hard time saying anything because your afraid of letting out what you want to say. or afraid of what someone will say to you. Maybe your afraid of how it will make you feel. You can't get the words out just like your emotions so when you cut you take it out on yourself. It's like a fear of letting go. I have an idea. I'm not sure how to set it up but I'll see if i can figure it out. If you could figure out how to do your 360 than you can easily down load instant messenger and instead of chatting you can draw how you feel on buddy doodle. Not to say you are a baby or child but drawing with someone on that could be a step towards feeling more at ease with expressing how you feel then eventually you will be able to respond to someone using words.

It happens all the time to me, not only online but also offline in the real life. It seems that, I feel a bit ackward when some stranger start talking to me. But I have, with the help of my friends, developed the inner instinct such that, even though it feels wierd talking to others, I hide whatever I think and just talk as if knew that person forever. And yeah, it really requires time, patience and a bit of counsaling to develop this inner feeling.

Well, it doesn't happen to me but you could just ask questions here and lots of people will answer you. Like a chat, but you would get more responses. The thing is Yahoo has a daily limit for asking questions and you won't be able to say everything you want to say, but still it could be an effective way of getting out what's bothering you and I think you'll feel a lot better.
