Empathy and Advice Welcomed New but not?

Hey I just wanted to say that I am okay.
I haven't been on here in years, frankly I haven't owned an account online since 2021.
My best friend died and I took it very very badly and I spent years trying to find myself again. I was just starting to feel like the mother, the friend and the daughter I used to be when my past came back to haunt me. Literally. So here I am. I may post a few bits about this and that but I wanted to say Hello.
I hope I can help someone on here and I hope I can be heard.
I'm here because I don't wanna open up to the people in my life about how I actually think or feel. I deal better that way. I also think it was easier when people knew to avoid me.
Buh. Anyway I am sorry if I worried anyone. Xx

That's good
Welcome back to SF!
I'm sorry it's been like that.
People come and go on SF all the time. I'll usually send out a PM when I notice that someone's missing, but I'll get a reply maybe 3% of the time. I'm concerned about people who are missing, but I also don't know the reasons why someone is away, and no matter what, all I can do is send a PM. I've learned that I can only do what I can do, and then accept the outcome.

I hope you'll say more about your friend and what has happened since you lost them if you'd like.

I might get onto it. There's been a lot since I last posted on here so I might try to post a bit for others first or maybe poetry. I feel like I am a lot less open than I used to be so I'll go slow and steady. Reading some of my old posts is a bit hard.

Sad hearing about the loss of your friend, but good you are back with us and glad to here you hope to help others, that is always a plus for folks and this is the place to open us and share and receive the support that may be needed by all.

I'm so sorry about your loss. Welcome back though, we are here for you.
