lostwoman4253 Posted July 15, 2016 I have the hardest time at night I live in the eastern time zone of the United States, I joined a support group on another website, whenever I log on I am the only one logged in. My counselor suggested I look into these online sites for support. But right now I feel this was a bad idea, I had a lot of hope that I could get some support when I couldn't handle the pain at night, she made it sound like it was a good, and safe place for me. I am not sure anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you will come to know this was good idea. Take your time going the board. Patricia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whisper Posted July 15, 2016 Lostwoman, AS is a good and safe place where you can find support at all hours of the day and night, but I think more people are around during day time or evening in the US. I encourage you to spend some time here just to experience having the support and understanding of other people who know what you are going through. I think you will find it very helpful. If you find that you are not able to get the support that you need precisely when you need it here, then I suggest that you contact RAINN (www.rainn.org) at the times when you feel like you can't handle the pain alone. You can contact them anonymously either by phone or chat and talked to a counselor 24/7. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phoenixxx Posted July 15, 2016 Hi lostwoman! There are people from all sorts of different time zones on here so there will probably always be someone to talk to. I really hope you find the support you deserve here! Welcome to AS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8888 Posted July 15, 2016 Welcome! Not everyone lives in the same time zone so I think you may be able to find some support at night because it's not night everywhere at once. Plus I'm in EST and sometimes I'm on at weird hours, as I'm sure some others are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winterwishes Posted July 15, 2016 Hi lost women, there are a few UK/europe members here who are around in the mornings there time, so it would be night where you are. I hope you can find the support you need, billie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the others have said, there are different time zones and different countries on this site, so I would think you would find others here late at night. I would suggest trying a few nights to see. I would hate to see you give up before you start, as the members here are truly understanding and kind. You deserve to heal and I know this site and it's members can be a help. Take your time before deciding. I do wish you the best on your healing journey. Mary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
