Yes Queen of Chaos that is a very nice way of putting it. PC is a very helpful place for so many. And it is so nice to have a place to go where one can try to come out of the bushes and express themselves. Hearing someone elses story that resembles your own can help so much as then you begin to realize your not so alone after all.

And Sunna, yes, there can be a sharing of negetivity as well. But I don't really see the scale tipping in favor of negetivity here at PC. I have myself experienced it a little in dealing with others here at PC but I always take into consideration what that other person is dealing with. I have to admit that I have been triggered a few times by the comments of others addressing me, but in a way it has helped me see a trigger I didn't know I had. After all when we do come out of the bushes, we are not aways going to say the right thing, we may misunderstand someone or even our own issues.

What inspires me is when I see someone trying and they open up more and more. And I know it is not easy for some, but it can be just what that person really needs.
I used to spend more time in the chats and then I started to post more in the forums and got to know people better. And I know what it is like to feel alone with an issue and then meet someone else that is maybe further along and helps me understand my issue a little more. I do the same for others as well.

There will always be some negetive input, people are often angry and frustrated with their so called label and how others outside PC don't understand them. But for the most part I see more support here than anything else.

And I am also amazed at some of the stories I have been told and how strong another person is inspite of their story and how they have somehow overcome their past.
