Hi all,

Lots of wisdom on this thread.

I've noticed that when one of us posts about something that's really troubling us, there is always someone who can relate and this affirmation is just so positive. We can set it against the misunderstandings and invalidations that have brought us here.

Also, I think this experience is different from counselling. In one to one counselling I always felt that I was being observed by someone who didn't really know what was going on with me. This board is not like that.

There are obviously differences in our stories but the feeling of empathy is so strong here, I believe that we have struggled with some common issues.

I don't know about you guys, but I like to read back through the threads and let the affirmations sink in - sometimes I like to print them out.

Thanks to Justy, Mars, Candy, Ozzie.

Good thoughts to you. Myzen
