I spent my life ignoring my emotions, dealing with those tough times with alcohol and gambling. After speaking to a counsellor, I realised that I had never spoken about the difficult times in my life, I preferred to runaway from them whereas I should have spoken to someone.
I am not a trained counsellor but I can listen and sometimes it is easier to speak to a stranger, our experiences can create our character and bad experiences can be a burden and effect the way we behave towards others and ourselves.
My idea is to either chat to people here online or I will visit places in the UK and sit on a park bench, just to talk and you can either share your stories for others to read and maybe it will help them or we can finish the chat and hopefully you will feel some of the burden lifted,
You have the stories, when I talk about my past it can sometimes feel like a different narrator, my idea is that if it is written down, you can visit your stories if you want but maybe you can move on from them and eventually not have to read them.
We publish anonymous stories where only the narrator will know who the story is about.
