Just wondering how long it took some of you to be able to talk to others after the trauma.

I'm in the awful habit of stuffing everything because I've had to be my own therapist for so long. As a result, speaking up in any crowd is enough to freak me out a bit. Even posting messages is hard, but I know I have to get this stuff out or I'm going to go postal on someone who doesn't deserve it.

How did you all loosen up enough to be able to talk to others?
