There are times when dealing with the ever changing emotional states that comes with this illness that I would like to post what swims around in this brain of mine. The reasons for this are two fold.

1) As the old adage goes: A problem shared is a problem halved. And

2) By being able to read what I've written and by reading some of the responses to what I've written, I can see the irrationality thoughts or feelings and put them better into perspective.

Here is my dilemma:

I share this board with my life partner(The gods willing), most of you know who that is.
As a result of that, there are many times I don't feel as though I can use the boards the way that I would like too. My main concern is that things that I may share that are going on inside my head my trigger anxiety, fear and or depression in my partner.

Though 90% of what goes on in there may have nothing to do with her directly and in most likely hood have a 0% chance of coming to fruition, they can be easily misunderstood and reacted too.

I do understand this is why there are other forums out there that ask partners not to join the same sight, as well as the difficulty that occurs if the partners break up.

I wonder how many others here share this site with their partners and how the deal with this difficulty and how they have overcome it if they have.

Thanks Wiccan
