We have a support group near where I live, but I don't have a way to get to that support group, therefore, PC serves as a support group for me ... My therapist says that's a good way to look at support sites such as this ... She also thinks it's important to have a support group - be it live and in person or online - because often someone in the group will say just the right thing at just the right time and it gives us that A-HA moment that we've been looking for ... Any therapist that thinks that one-on-one therapy and medications are the end all be all to helping people struggling with mental health issues is nothing but a charlatan as far as the Pfrogster is concerned!
