I feel a little like you do. I come from another site, and I had the misfortune of becoming actively suicidal (the very FIRST time in my life!) while on that other site. I took those incredible people on a nasty roller coaster ride with me. I am a survivor, and I didn't die. But now that I've stopped posting on the other site and have come here, I find that people who knew me there are not open to my being on this new site. They fear I will disrupt the calm of this site.

So, yes, I have been hurt here and I've felt excluded and unwanted. But you know what? Just keep posting, Wants2Fly. You are doing nothing wrong. It is GOOD to release your feelings and to receive feedback. I believe anything you say will be accepted, just as long as you're not saying you have a razor blade and are cutting your wrist. THAT is destructive to the other members' mental health. *smile*

It just takes time. But you are VERY welcome here. I'm glad you weren't afraid to voice your concerns and fears to us. See how many people are responding to you already? Hun, you've got friends here. *smile*

Hugs,
Sandy
