The Pickup (Hi)

[Da Capo al Fine]

Hi everybody. I'm Da Capo Al Fine and I've been looking around a few of the public forums and things on the site for a while now. I wasn't sure if I was even going to register at first but I have recently been encouraged to find resources that can help me deal with the memories and emotions of my past that have been recently resurfacing and affecting my life. I look forward to getting to know you guys and reading what you all have to say. I am hesitant to share my thoughts and feelings but hope I can overcome it because of the anonymity and the seemingly close knit community here. I will also probably continue to make the occasional music pun every now and then. 🙂  Anyway, I just thought the first step would be to introduce myself, and see what happens from there.

Hi, and welcome here! I haven't been on here for long, but it has already helped me with a lot of stuff, and I think this is a great place to open up about things when you're ready, if that's what you want. And if you don't feel like it yet, I find that reading posts and answers also helps a lot, and you can also use the other sections to talk about other things, like music! 

I hope you can find what you're looking for here, and welcome again! And I'm here if you want to talk about anything
