Tweeter3 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hi,I'm nervous. Besides my therapist, I have no support and I am looking for some.I have some questions. I PMed a mod, I think. I'm not really sure. I'm tech challenged. Should I ask my questions to the newbie team instead? Link to post
Tweeter3 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Also, can I get the password for the "share my story" forum?Thanks Link to post
MeBeMary Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hello Tweeter,Welcome to AS. I am sorry for the trauma that you have suffered, but you have found a very supportive site. All the mods and newbie support team are helpful, so I am sure that if the mod you contacted thinks newbie support is more benifial, they will tell you. Be patient, you will get a response. As far as share a story, there is no password, you just have to make 10 posts to automatically gain access. It can be orignal posts by you, or you responsing to others. I wish you well on your healing journey.Mary Link to post
Tweeter3 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Mary,Thank you so much for the info. It confused me bc when I clicked on "share my story" it asked for a password. Posting 10 times makes sense. I'm really nervous being here. I'm sure that go away w time. Link to post
