What Do You Like Most About This Forum?

[Nicolette]

I was just thinking if I had to pick one thing I liked the most about this forum I would have to say the 'members' as without them this place would not exist.

But there is more to that for me; I like the forum because:

• I have great friends here who support, understand or listen to me & even give me a kick up the bum when I need one and vice versa
  
• I like that I can come here and talk about things happening in my life and be not be given a look or spoken to like I am a crazy fool for standing by my husband (and PTSD friends) as the people here get that the illness does not define the person
• While my husband can be a right royal pain in the butt; I like the way the forum is run with it not being a pity party and instead we all work on pulling ourselves up as well as each other.

What is it that you like about coming here?

It's the only place I can let my crazy flow and not be judged or misunderstood.

No Trolls :D

I was impressed by Anthony's detection and handling of the last one I saw.

I like the forum because:

• It is a place where others understand and get IT
• Members support, advice, humour, pep talks, friendship, etc.
• It is great to share the ups and downs, to celebrate and commiserate but never be judged.

I like the forum because:

• People her understand, but challenge you to understand yourself
• I have found friends
• I need the challenge to get better
• It is one of the only places where I can get out what I am thinking and feeling

What do I like most about this forum?

Number one is the articles. I read different ones often. And I re-read them. It seems like the more I read them, the more I gain from them.

I may get mad about the rules at times, but they are helping me learn self control. I can't just spew whatever I want when I'm having an off day. I actually have to follow rules in order to remain a member here....which means I have to think before I speak...not that I always do, but I'm getting better at it.

There are people who understand here. I don't feel like such a freak or outcast here.

Its the only place that I'm not crazy.

I like it for many reasons, but the one which comes to mind right now is.

I can say what I am feeling, with out fear of being criticized for the mistakes I make. We all make them and learn from them.

Informed of changes to make and encourage to make them, is far better then just being told, "You dont do it like that, that's the wrong way to go about it".

To finally learn that there are others dealing with this.

That there are others who are further on the journey and can show me the way.

That there is hope for a healthier future.
