The first step..
Hello. I am new to this and I’m feeling overwhelmed. I believe one on one chat with a listener would be the best option for me. I opened two chats with two different listens but then closed them because I honestly didn’t even know how to start the conversation. Do I just say hello or do I start with saying I feel worthless can you help with that? This should be a simple task but for me it’s overwhelming. Thanks for any help.
@KatBug21 Yes, you can say hello. Or you can start with "I feel worthless". It's up to you and how you feel at that moment.
If it's difficult for you, maybe prepare by writing down some things that you want to say, then you can copy and paste them in the chat when it seems appropriate.

Hi Kat! Getting to open up can be very challenging so what you are feeling is completely understandable! Instead of browsing listeners you may want to connect with a listener in real time. In this case they will probably reach out to you within a few minutes. However since listeners can be busy with other tasks in the community you can try to connect again to chat with someone available! Thank you for posing your question and welcome to the community!
