Without this forum, i would....

[digger]

Without this forum I would not have gained the understanding of dissociation that I now have and how it impacts and has impacted my life. I didn't even know there was a word for these things before I came here. It helped me to move out of feeling quite so isolated in my experience.

- Without this forum, I would still be lost in fear hiding in the dark.

not trying to be dramatic but the people here guided me from my very unstable undiagnosed self to where I am today. I was encouraged when afraid and guided when lost. I can't remember every step right now but it started with getting an assessment and right now another difficult thing. But this forum, people and some weird voodoo that happens when you stir all of us together is something I am very thankful for.

Without this forum, I'd be even less social, if that's even possible.
...., I'd feel even less "a genuine part of" anything helpful and potentially healthful for myself and others.
...., I'd not have shared heartfelt moments of connection/belly laughs/tears of innerstanding/heartfelt support with folks I'll likely never meet in the 3d world, but definitely feel a deep kindred spirit connection with.
...., I'd likely be trying to fit my awkward cell-ph into all the wrong-for-me cyber spaces, still.

Without this forum, I would not have had the opportunities to practice setting healthy boundaries and managing my reactions to conflict and criticism, providing me with skills I have been able to carry over into my '3D' life.

Without this forum I would not have received diagnosis or understood PTSD.
Without this forum I would not have understood that I was in the lowest prognosis for recovery.
Without this forum I would not have endeavored to beat the heck out of that prognosis.

I don't say much here ( like I should) but I appreciate this forum just being here for each and everyone that uses it. I read it everyday and I'm a medicated PTSD person. But, I have moments where things/happenings bother me and i hesitate today, which is new. My cat is also a new happening in my life. Couldn't imagine it before. Thanks everyone, for just being here.

I honestly don't know what would come after that "would"... I'm not sure I could've handled all the crap life threw at me this past year without the support I found here.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified! :P

I would like to add to mine that the middle of my nights would be very boring without this site, I cannot imagine it!
This is what my days look like. So my nights can be so empty by comparison, when I cannot get internet coverage, for instance.
