to get support?
this is something i've been wondering about for a while- before you joined PC, what support outlets (if any) did you have? I was on a few yahoo/msn groups, the owners were quite nice on one, one of the members made things difficult, but the owner dealt with it. what about you |

I really don't think I had anything. I was completely suffocating. At best I had a few forums related to my hobbies, so when I found difficulties with my hobbies I also could sneak in (or out) a bit of my general frustration... But it really was rarely welcome, if it didn't actually lead to even more trouble for me.

I used to use an Australian depression forum...even though I live on the other side of the world. But it was what I found one night over ten years ago and I liked it so I stayed. Unfortunately it no longer exists so I spent a year or so testing out various forums until I found this one. I’d hate to lose this one now, have probably been here for over four years now all in all.

Before I ran across PC I only had my doctor whom I normally see every three months and the place I go to to see my doc no longer offers one on one therapy so, I was pretty much screwed. Stress and worry and desperation made me do online searches for a good forum. I bookmarked this forum then, joined almost two weeks later. It turned out to be a good idea.

I have some fond (and not so fond) memories of previous forums of my hobbies I was on a take that forum, and eminem forum, a forum about dinosaurs, and a harry potter forum. out of those, none of them lasted the eminem forum closed (but it was fun while it lasted), the dinosaur forum was where someone first worked out I probably had MI (not a professional, just a person who thought I had it), and then I went manic and got banned from the harry potter and the take that forum |

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