Hi SamanthaAnne

I can understand your anxiety. It's a reasonable reaction resulting from your childhood experiences and the fact that you have not healed, entirely, from the incident.

I would find it extremely challenging visiting someone in a psych ward and I'm sorry your friend could not bring herself to return the favour when you had to pop in.

Banned from forums? But why would you think so. You've reached out for support- that's what we're here for. And we all have different opinions. So you will find most people speak from the heart and their own personal experiences, which can be vastly different. That's great. It gives us the opportunity to take away parts that are meaningful to us.

In some ways I admire that you're able to sustain groups. I can't. That's my worst fear. But hey this is your post and I don't want to hijack your thread.

But I do want to say I think you should feel comfortable discussing your feelings with us.

We are here to support you.
