I've stuck with PC now for almost 7 years (next month). I am NOT on psych meds because I can't take them (too many bad side effects), & definitely NOT obsessed with my T, however glad that I have finally found a good one that I can relate to along with a wonderful DBT group.
PC has been a wonderful community of people who I have come to know over the years & have been a wonderful support to me through some very rough times. I came here while in the middle of going through a trauma that I didn't understand what was happening around me & at the time was struggling with anorexia problems because of the stress while my mother was dying of cancer. The support was wonderful & dealing with the PTSD I was left with really helped to have this group to talk through it with.
Then I left my husband & moved 2100 miles away.....go figure, every night at the hotel while driving across the country, there were always here to check in with.
Went through a horrible time financially because of a crooked guy who I hired to install the heat pump in my farm & PC was here to support in all ways for that.
The people here on PC are the most caring & kind group of people I have ever encountered on the internet. Know there are a lot of differences between the UK & the US, but many of us have become kindred spirits even with the Atlantic between us. It just takes time to know others & to be known. PC has grown by huge amounts over these years & there are so many specialty areas where people focus themselves, so it's a bit more difficult to get to know more who are on here, but when you find the nitch that you feel comfortable in, it's amazing how home it becomes to feel.
Hope you can find a place where you feel comfortable here, where you find kindred thoughts & feelings.
