Hi KimmyDawn,
I've only been here a little over a year.
At the time before I found PC, my family kept shoving down my throat that I was crazy because I went through a depression/anxiety and saw a psychiatrist and had to take meds. They wouldn't let it alone and reminded me of it, in some form or another, at every chance they had.
I was trying to get over my depression but I was slammed back into it again through the absolute lack of support and understanding and not letting me break out of the neat little labled box they had me in.

When I was told about PC-I decided to check it out and when I read the forums I liked how everyone was sooooo supportive and kind to people who were feeling really bad.
PC has helped me to learn to communicate with people better. It's given me a place to I feel like I fit in. It lets me know that I am needed when I can be there for someone who's going through a really tough time and needs a shoulder to cry on. PC also lets me know that I can share things I wouldn't with people IRL 'cause they wouldn't get it but the members here do. I know there are issues with security and every once in awhile there is tension and disagreements here on PC but that's normal. We're like a family here and fighting among siblings is normal-it'd be kinda weird if we agreed on everything, anyway. PC has also allowed me to express my deepest fears, shame, sorrows and hopes-and people actually LISTENED!!!! PC has kept me from feeling totally alone and isolated from humanity. PC has given me an outlet to cry, vent and help others. And PC has shown me that I'm not alone with these feelings of fear, anxiety, depression and self destructive urges. PC makes me feel like there is hope for me.
I could go on and on but I think everyone here already understands.

I love it here at PC. I love the members here.
