For New Members - Positives Of The Forum

[Loveneverfails]

I feel like this place has been an answered prayer. I've tried so many times to tell my story. I tried while it was happening, I tried after while I didn't know what was wrong with me. No one believed me.

-This has been a place where I can talk about what happened and be validated.
-Have people understand what I'm feeling and why I'm feeling that way.
-Have people who not only understand but have empathy for the horrible things that happened.
-And a place where on my very worst day I can hate the world and hate myself, feel alone and have a perfect stranger in another part of the world give me a cyber hug and remind me that I have this place and will never truly be alone...and that I'm worth loving.

I don't really have family I can count on, but I know I can count on this place.

I have been here since Febuary. My healing process has flowed so smoothly. I am not alone anymore. I learned how to post pictures so I can be a part of the great source of relaxation. All of the people here are awesome. I have been deeply touched and changed. My self esteem has improved. I get all kinds of help and support, and I overcame a driving phobia with the help and support and encouagement of online friends. I just love being a part of this community.

A place where the Administrator asks what you would change if you could! I am pretty sure I have never seen a poll on Facebook with this option. I did just read a post where someone asked for something and it was done in a very timely manner. This is a common occurrence. The entire staff work diligently to keep it
running smooth.

Yes, thank you so much Anthony and Nicolette. I was just thinking this morning how lucky I was to find this forum when I did.

I also thought, this is 'your baby' (we say that in Canada, lol :) ), I won't be surprised if in years to follow it becomes a really world-wide, accepted resource with great notoriety. :tup: (I'll post and say "Hi!" . :) :inlove: ) ((((((Anthony & Nicolette))))))))

There is so much invaluable information to be had here. I am continually amazed at how much help, support, and wisdom, and encouragement I have recieved here. I think my healing is benefitting greatly. How I wish I had this forum when I was raising my kids. But better late than never.

I like it :) feels safe no one knows who I am and yet they are friendly.

A place where growth and healing are acknowledged options. Around the corner is someone suffering the same as us.

The most incredible team members who go the extra mile to make others welcome and begin a positive journey. Find hope where there has been darkness.

The Freight would kill me though. :poop:

I am still laughing! I actually checked on shipping. Now I just make wipe donations. As I know the minute I mailed them he would find a type he likes better. I do hope the vendors of products acknowledge Anthony for their increase in sales!

Can we make this thread a "sticky"?

 

[Whitneys story]

Outstanding idea Movin On! I second that motion!

For me this forum helps put my own feelings in perspective. I have been reading through posts on here and I am just amazed at how much stuff people can go through and keep on going! I gain strength of my own because all of you are more awesome than you even realize. So thank you.

It's a place where you can gain knowledge. I always say that most fear comes from not understanding. If you understand your disorder (or another's if you're a supporter) you're already on the right track to healing.

It's a place where you don't have to be afraid to ask as many questions as you want in the Discussion category or other categories, because believe it or not; there's at least one person who probably has the same question. It's a place where talking about symptoms to further understanding is encouraged-you won't be judged because chances are, someone on the forum has gone or is going through the same thing, and there's somebody that can help you explain the symptom you're experiencing.
