Can't Express Feelings
How come I can't talk and say my feelings like other Selective Mutism individuals. I don't know, I just can't be myself and express my feelings. Maybe it is because I would be embarrassed or humiliated or something. :'( I think I misspelled that word humiliated. I can't even defend myself either. It's not fair that other individuals with Selective Mutism can express their feelings and I can't! It's not fair. It's probably because I have a different Selective Mutism with Low Functioning Autism. I don't think I can take care of myself.
Anything I can do that will help me with my Selective Mutism? Any ideas? I am like having depression thoughts that I can't do anything or I can't take care of myself. I am so afraid I could be so close to self-harming again. :'(
I know I said I can't express my feelings but this is through writing. But I can't express my feelings through word-of-mouth which is what I want to do but physically can't!!! Why won't people believe me that I just want to speak!?
I ran another 5K plus a 10K run on youtube. Kinda felt proud of me.
The bottom line is that I struggle with expressing my feelings. It was the SM Space Cafe that made me realize that. :)

You need a good counsellor who understands am and will allow you to work in writing first, mine did that and I have begun to be able to talk more, x
