Thanks very much for the advice! And I'm really glad you liked/were inspired by the writing. I have this internal fear that everything I write is terrible. And I definitely know what you mean about being nervous about putting stuff up here. Especially something of this nature...so personal, you know? I had a really nice guy tell me about this place and I've gotten really great feedback from everyone. I'm really grateful for that. And every little piece of advice that I get, I'm so grateful for, too. And it's been really good advice.
I hope you eventually get comfortable enough to post again. There are some great people here. And they've been dealing with their situations a lot longer than I have. (I'm still in college.) They can help you out with advice, too. I just put a question up here asking for some advice, and to my complete surprise, I had at least 7 replies. It takes some time, but someone always answers.
I'm really glad you mustered enough courage to post.
