From mroy.ink: I dont really know how ended up on this post, but im glad to, really intuitive coĂŻncidence and needed to read this. But its always difficult to talk about it , or to know where when to start . Thank you for this 
For sure difficult to talk about - it’s hard to unpack so much and to trace the whole back to individual parts. It’s like - this WHOLE THING feels broken, where do I even begin? It’s scary in general to talk about your struggles, but then to feel like no matter who you share with couldn’t possibly understand…it feels pointless. It’s hard to start, and then with the high likelihood of some kind of rejection or misunderstanding …just makes more sense to not talk about it at all. But the problem with that is that it makes things worse, ha. So you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t kind of thing.
TBH, I feel like even just admitting that you want to share but don’t know where to start is a great thing. I’ve been through the 12 steps for my addiction to porn, and one of the steps is “asking for the willingness to WANT to change”. It was one of the most powerful steps for me. Because the truth was I didn’t WANT to change. But I wanted to want to change. And admitting that and leaning in there was the place where I was at, and it gave me the ability to take a step when I otherwise would have been stuck.
Feels like where you’re at is wanting to want to share, even though you don’t want to share. And that is a powerful place to be! It is an excellent start.

It can be so hard to talk but sometimes it can be so freeing as well once you choose to do so. Making the decision to talk about something is the most important step. Once you decide to let your voice be heard and let people see who you are and what you are going through, that is when you can find the strength to say what you need to and the words will follow.
