I need help but don't know how to ask.
I often find my situation hard to explain. Part of the reason it's hard to find a listening ear.
If you want to share, we have sharing circle. If your situation fit a group chat, you may want to join them. There are also listeners too.
If you would Ike, you may also write your situation here. Make sure to @ whoever you want to read the post or if you are replying to anybody so they will be notified.
I hope that even if it is hard, that you try and hopefully you will meet the right person to listen. If you would like me to listen, you can reply back to me. Be aware, that we are not allowed by guideline to give out advice.
@idk1201,
Hey there , first of all , I am so proud that you are have realised that you need some assistance!! It's hard to accept that ! the mere fact that you have posted it says you are reaching out!! I am happy that you did so ☺️
I very well understand why its difficult to open up with listeners . Sharing our problems leaves us vulnerable. We become more terrified of the idea , when we don't know how the other person will take it and react. Doing this online definitely helps because you don't reveal your identity or be physically present with the listner. But the emotional damage one can face if their problems are mocked at or belittled is the same.(I won't say that's what a listener would do, some may . But most of them are very compassionate and understanding) I would have felt the same if I was in your shoes.Also it's hard to open up when most us are used to keep things all bottled up
I understand it's damn hard for many of us to open up to listners. Maybe knowing a little more about the listner can make it a tad bit easier. Have you tried to browse for a suitable listner? You can do it here

I read your post stating that you need someone who specializes in family dysfunction. You can state that while you place a request for a listener. I don't have enough expertise on it. However feel free to PM of you need a listening ears. I cannot solve your issues, but I will definitely stand by you if you wish , while you get through your tough days.
