How much information is too much?

Since my first I Ho Chuan meeting last year I have struggled with the question, how much is too much information? I'm not one who likes to talk a lot in front of others anyway, but when asked the question "how are you doing?", I have found it difficult to answer completely without revealing too much personal stuff going on in my life. I say the bare minimum. Like most people, I have personal things going on that either I don't feel comfortable sharing or that I doubt what is an appropriate time or place to share and with some things I'm just plain scared I may break down. The funny thing is, a lot of times its these personal struggles and distractions that hold us back from moving forward towards some great things. There is great comfort in being able to share with others who may have or may be going through similar struggles. What better place to reach out than with a group who cares, understands and may possibly be able to help?

I'd like to thank everyone who has had the courage to open up and been so honest as to the struggles they are having, trusting the rest of the team and allowing others the opportunity to learn and help. How can anyone help unless they are aware that someone needs it?
