A Very Nervous "hi"


Azaria

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

REALLY nervous as this site is MUCH bigger than I thought it might be.

I'm 42 and found a link to this site from one here in the UK. Just putting my date of birth in a different format threw me!

Anyway, although I hate there to be a need for sites like this, I'm REALLY grateful there are.

I hope I can find my way around!

:hi:

Although there are many people here, I hope you will not feel overwhelmed. This is such a wonderful supportive site. I hope that you will find us all to be great help along your healing journey. If you need anything at all feel free to pm me. Take care.

Thank you for your very kind replies and welcomes, will hopefully feel as brave as all of you and be able to share a bit more of my story and struggles over time-still all very new, but am amazed at everyones bravery and courage in posting their own stories.

This feels like a safe space in a horribly unsafe world.

:thanks:

:ThankYou: ALL VERY VERY much. I've been made to feel so welcome here and am glad that I have a chance to make some new friends who I don't have to pretend with and also friends that I hopefully can give back something to as well. Though there are people that are empathetic that haven't been through our experiences, there is such a richness of communication and understanding among those of us who have.
