I still find this a safe haven, I still look to this place for comfort and support, even companionship at times when I really need it. In my opinion, this is still a great site, and really enjoy being a part of this community. We ALL have our moments, we ALL have the right to think and feel anyway we want, and to believe in anything we choose. Saying that, we'll all have moments when we are happy, depressed, and just better able to handle our problems than at other times. I still struggle my own share of demons these days, and still battle suicidal thoughts and impulses. We ALL do, that is why we're here, sharing our struggles, triumphs, laughter and tears. Yes, we can discuss serious issues in the forums that should said once in a while, then jump into chat and share some laughter and good humor for a couple hours. That's the reason why I enjoy coming here, being able to openly discuss one's feelings and daily struggles, AND receive a healthy dose of comic relief and understanding at the same time. A resource like this one is incredibly valuable. I can say that I'm glad to be a part of this community.
But there has been some discord here lately, so maybe what everyone needs is something positive to make our little community a safe retreat for everyone.
Even in the darkest moments of our lives, there has to be a few sparks of goodness left, even if it's just one or two small things. Maybe what we need to do is spend some more time focusing on those postive things, and maybe it will help us fight our personal battles, and serve to make this community stronger and a greater resource for us all.
Okay, I'll start:
1. I'm grateful for my health
2. Grateful I survived my attack, grateful knowing that it will make me stronger and more empowered in the end
3. I'm grateful for all the friends I have made here, and all the help and support I received from them
4. Finally, I'm grateful for my AWESOME support system at psych central, and all the people here who have taken the time to listen to me and offer one of the most precious things I could ever ask for-the gift of friendship.

If anyone wants to jump in, feel free. Let's see how many happy thoughts we can get on this post. I don't know if this thread will catch on or not, but I see how certain posts do, and some arguing has resulted in a few of those. I am not in any way saying that people can't discuss their different views or ideas, I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, I just want to help everyone else feel better about their lives and in my opinion, this wonderful haven, like you have all helped me in the past few months.
I understand if not everyone finds it safe and comforting here, everyone is entilted to thier own opinion, I realize I have no right to tell them otherwise. I just wanted to put this post out there, in the hope that maybe while actively searching for even that one spark of happiness in our lives, we can come to realize that we will all be okay, and we can ALL overcome our problems and eventually find the peace and happiness we're all looking for.
Again, thank you all.
