  Hi silentwarrior,

  There is a lot going on in this brick. Who are "they" the people who hate you?

  A lot of us feel like outsiders because we feel different for all of the feelings that go on inside of us. I feel like that whenever I am really depressed - are you feeling depressed or sad? Happy to listen if you want to talk about it - here or on a PM if you want. Thinking of you UM xx

  thanks

  i am feeling the depression more this week

  "they" are my family

  my mums implyed tha tshe thinks people who see things should be locked up.

  how can i even open up to her now?

  i get scared of opening up, even on here where no one knows me, so talking to family is impossible.

  Hi SW

  Sometimes we create "others" as a way of surving very difficult things that happened to us in our childhood - it can make it possible for us to carry on.

  No one here will think you should be locked up.

  I certainly was never able to talk to anyone in my family - families frequently are not able to understand. In time you might think of someone else you could open up to. No need to pressure yourself, though. If you feel you can, you could experiment a bit on here. As long as you don't give any of your personal details and don't tell anyone you know off the site what you username is, no one will know who you are. If you want to talk on hear, you will be listened to for sure, and not judged. Take care.

  Hi Silent Warrior - oh it is not good being in a family that makes you feel different. I think your mum sounds a bit scared of you. Not everyone wants to believe that "others" exist it is not only beyond their experience they are just scared. So no it would be hard to open up to your mum until she is able to open up her thinking and see what you have is a gift and not as anything else. I agree with sar - this is a safe place and you will be supported - the more you talk about the hurts you have encountered the more that you will understand that it is not you that is odd or different just that some people are blind to knowing how to embrace and empathise with other's experiences.

  take care
  UM xx
