And I'm going to say: take baby steps, be soft with yourself, realize that you're having feelings that you've never had before and you're dealing with stuff you haven't dealt with ever, and things are coming up about yourself that you're not comfortable with, and it's taken like literally. It's just that you're having these feelings right now and they're overwhelming, and you need to have these feelings right now and just to maybe let them know, to maybe treat you with those kid gloves, say, you know, I need you to be a little soft with me right now and it's not going to be forever, but I'm going through these feelings that I've never felt before, and this is hard.
