Just thought I would start a thread on what PC has done for me and get others to share what PC has done for them. So here goes... PC has been here 24/7. Have even got responses at 3:00 am. PC has taught me about being so judgemental. It has taught me what abuse is and also what emotional support really is. I have learned that there are a lot of different ways to handle a problem and sometimes you just have to go through a learning or grieving process. I have made phone and Facebook friends. This place is a safe and supportive part of my healing network. I have learned the most common response from an abuser when confronted is denial. And so many more things I just can't think of right now. So let's hear from everyone else...

PC, and everyone that makes it what it is, has saved my life on more than one occasion.
And that's not small potatoes!!  It has helped me learn to have compassion for myself by allowing me to have compassion towards others and care for them in a healthy environment. It has kept me from hurting myself. It has been my security blanket. It has been a new kind of family that I feel I can trust to be there and care. It has provided shelter and offered me a place were I feel I belong. PC isn't just a website...it really is a community...full of wonderful people.

(((((NuckingFutz))))) Great post, and thanks for making this thread.
 PC has been here for me anytime I need support, which lately has been more often than usual. When I was (and still am) waiting for a psychiatrist & therapist, PC is my biggest support system. I have met some great people who I enjoy talking to on chats, and I enjoy participating in certain chats that really help me. PC is a place I can feel comfortable in because I know at least one person can relate to what I'm struggling with...and we all just want to see each other succeed in life. Thanks everyone!

Because of PC, I was not alone even in my my darkest moments of despair. It helped me understand trauma and my responss to it. It has helped me advocate for myself in therapy and out of therapy. It has been a helpful resource of information for me.
It hasn't been all good, and I've had to deal with immense anxiety about posting, and feelings of hurt and rejection. But I think these things are a part of any community and have given me the chance to grow and learn. Thanks for posting this, NF. It's interesting to think about. |

I've been at PC for two years now, and it's defiantly been an inspiration to face my demons and take charge of my life. The people here are so wonderful and amazing, I have made many close friends here who I talk to everyday in one form of communication or another. I know PC has helped me when I've felt so alone in the world, and I know I always have a nest and support here. This little bird adores this community and the amazing people in it!

Even though I am an admin, I am still a member of this wonderful community. There is no other place on the net where I could garner the love, support, friendship and safety that I have received here.
I have learned patience with myself and with others. I have learned to look and think further outside the box when dealing with my issues. I've learned that not everything is always as it seems.  I have made some wonderful, beautiful friends who have helped make my life very special. I am very blessed to have all of PC and it's members in my life. Much love & respect, sabby

PC gave me a safe place to reach out to others when that was the last thing I was able to do in the depths of my worst depressive episode ever. On the day I found out I was bipolar I was allowed to rant all I wanted in the Bipolar board without judgment. I can say what I want and I get good responses from others who have been there. I have never had such support in my life without strings attached.
As I learn more about PTSD and how it affects my daily life PC is there for me.

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