Hello, I am new to the whole online support group scene and to be completely honest it scares me. I know that it is anonymous but to post personal information online for everyone to see make me nervous. I know that I need support and there is not much of that around here so here it goes.
I have been struggling with depression and anorexia since I was a teen and have had anxiety since 18 months after the birth of my first child. I have tried many different medications chemical and hollistic, none of which have worked for me. A traumatic experience that happened about 6 months ago (I am not ready to post about that online) has sent me on a downward spiral and usually I can "snap out of it" but this time nothing seems to be working. All I really want from this site is a place to talk to other people and get their opinions on issues. I hope to be able to help other people where I can as well. Thanks |

Hi Azure Rose - Welcome to PC and to the chance to let it all hang out
 I know it is hard to reveal oneself even anonymously. I was not used to that either but it has been wonderful. Everyone here is struggling with something and no one will judge you. I hope you will continue to explore this site and when you feel ready, share your story. All the best -Terry

Hi Azure Rose,
I'm new to posting online too! I've been meaning to start for a while but have been too 'non-functional' to do so; I've been an avid consumer but I feel the time is to start giving back. I understand both from the perspective as a sufferer myself, to the listening and supporting I've done for almost a decade now amongst closer friends, and strangers. I promise to respect you and be as helpful to you as I can; I'd just love to help someone in need I hope we both have positive experiences by taking this 1st big step together! Cheers 'Dr. Jay' |

I understand where you are coming from, I have been here for a while now, I still have a hard time. Some days I will type something then re read it then delete it, other days I am more open but not much. I am still working on it, I think I am my own worst enemy if I could only get over what others may think. I will keep trying though and hope you do too.

I am also new to this site and am nervous about posting as well. I suffer from Lupus and deep depression. My goal is to find support from others as well as lift others up in their time of need. I hope this is the site to do just that.

I'm kind of new myself. Maybe a month or two? Anyway, all the forums are great places to be. I've found a lot of great advice and support here. Just take it slow and you will realize from reading other posts that this is a good safe place to vent. You never have to reveal anything that's uncomfortable to you---how much and what you express are totally under your control. Welcome, and keep coming back...!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
