New and hopefully I’ve done this right?!

Hello Newbie Support Team -

I appreciate how @MeBeMary responded to @justme. I'm new around here and am looking forward to learning, healing and participating.

It's possible to need healing and not know you need it. Survival is a real thing.

Shifting from surviving to thriving is absolutely where I want to be. I'm garnering all the forces to make sure that happens for me.

Thanks for all the work you do.

Hello LovelyBee and welcome!

Thank you for the lovely compliment. We do strive to make everyone feel welcomed and accepted here. We know that struggles can be difficult and it is easier when we are not alone. I mentioned this community being filled with wonderful survivors and this includes you right now.

Feel free to look around and interact where you are comfortable. I'm sure you will find it as comforting as I have for the last few years. I wish you well as you move down this path of healing.
