Since 2009 - Wow. And I havent aged a day.... haha. Where did the time go?

My Support Forums have been a major form of support to me and others. I also shared my journey with others and hope that I have helped some too. I like chatting to many members and I would call them friends.

Just curious, how long have you been here? I remember when this was PsychCentral, now its My Support Forums - either way I think it's a great resource and I am so thankful that this community is still here.

Wow can’t believe it’s been that long, time flies and I was in college when I first joined. With my current account, I’ve been here since April 21st 2016 but the very first account I had was in April or May of 2013. I remember when it was Psych Central too, I think the name was changed just a year or so ago so it hasn’t been too long. A lot has happened since then and lots of learning has taken place, I’ve reread some of my first posts and I cringe at the way I worded some things since it sounds so whiny even though that wasn’t the intent.

8 years, I checked on my profile page to find out! It's nice to pop in here every so often to see how others in the world are getting on.

It says 2015, but after I first joined I was not visiting here for a couple years. Then I came back for a while. I haven't been around much (just off and on) for the last year. Kinda went elsewhere.

I remember when it was PsychCentral too, @arich62 - I still prefer to call it that really.

This is true! @arich62 - there was a lot more people back then, but I find that this forum is pretty active too at certain times of the day- you can still get lost here for sure!

That's good! It seems like the "new topics, latest posts" are the best places to start.

Those are usually where I start @arich62 - but sometimes I go hunting in subcategories, sometimes there is some hidden treasures there!

Been a member of MSF since Doc John transferred the forums over from Psych Central. Joined Psych Central in 2002. Doc John had two other sites before PC that I belonged to. So I've been involved in Doc John's sites since the 90s.

Eskie, I feel the same way. I would not have believed I could ever have the life I have now way back when.

Doc John a huge thanks to you for providing all these wonderful places for us to use on our journeys.

I remember in 2007 when I was driving a rental moving truck alone with me doggie Leo from Calif to Ky (2100 miles), PC was my checkin every night when I stopped. That kept me grounded & gave me a connection to people those long days driving to start my new life in Ky on my farm with my dog Leo in a whole new small town where I didn't know anyone
