    Hi @LRPINE,

    Welcome to AS!

    I had a similar experience when I first joined many years ago. It is amazing how much comfort a little hug emoji can offer, when we've been so alone with all this pain for so long. It is a very supportive community here and sometimes a little goes a long way. We all understand this experience called surviving and try to help each other when we can. Sometimes a sitter is all we need :)

    Safe hugs to you if you want them :hug:

    The safe hugs are greatly appreciated! I'm so glad to hear how supportive this site has been of you for years! It may only be an emoji but I agree it is powerful1

  4. Thank you all!!! I never expected such a warm and welcoming response! I'm full of happy tears right now! 

    @missfrier I'm still very new here and I can feel like a part of this family. It is beyond beautiful!

    @snmls I think I will find this site very helpful. Thank you!

    @Capulet It's amazing to know that after several years, this site is still there helping you. I feel like forums like this normally slowly trickle away but it's wonderful to know that the love and outreach here is so strong that is have impacted people for years :)

    @Free2Fly Safe hugs are always welcome! Thank you!

    @Poppy_ Thank you! You are so kind! I feel supported and validated in a way I've never experienced before. I am beyond grateful for the pocketrider :) 

    @Iheartcupcakes I think I really have come to the right place!

  5. I found this website after a bit of a downward spiral a few nights ago. I just really needed someone to talk to and more than that I needed to feel listened to. I wasn't sure if this website would be worth the wait of registration when I needed someone so desperately at that moment. I read through the guidelines and abbreviations post and I started to cry. I love the terms like "Pocket Riders", asking for "hugs", and "Sitting with someone". I just felt such a warmth of love, understanding, and support from those ideas of being there for someone like that. It helped me so much that night. It wasn't what I thought I wanted but it was certainly what I needed.

    So, hello everyone! Thank you for having me here and thank you for being so beautifully supportive and helpful already!

    I'm really glad to be here :)
