I guess some have guessed that I don't really belong here. One fellow I was tlaking with suggested that I seem 'normal'...but ever since I've come here, I've found purpose. I feel like I have something to check up on each day. I feel like it's important to me. I like giving advice and getting advice from different people. I like looking at life from different perspectives. I like reading posts and learning new things. I don't have mental illness or real issues. I feel lonely and I just want to connect with people and have deep conversations. I know that some of you have much harder times and I am not able to comprehend your struggles but i want to learn....and I give you props for the creative ways you find to live your life to the best of your ability. I find life hard enough but you are capable of handling almost anything that might come your way. Let me add, thanks for being so warm and kind to me and being patient. This truly is a great website and I would recommend it to anyone who are having troubles and need people to talk with. Everyone here is so warm and the friends I've made I look up to

thanks again,

myoasis

Not comprehending how hard we have had it is actually a positive thing, God Bless You!! You can go on and live the life we only dream of. Knowing you is what this website is about, sharing as friends do over coffee

Hi Myoasis

Now that this stranger has diagnosed your condition, did he give you any suggestions on where normal people should go for treatment? Sorry to hear of your affliction - hope they can find a cure. If not, I don't see the harm in sticking around here.
Thanks for this!

hon I stumbled across pc over 12 yrs ago by accident. Been here since that time. I don't have a mental illness diagnosis but I found I could offer love and support and in return I found many good friends. that is how I belong here I feel. If Doc doesn't want me here I think he would tell me by now. I say welcome!

Thanks Bebop. Its nice to know I'm not the only one here who enjoys being apart of this website who is without a mental illness. I've learned more about myself by being here and how to maintain better relationships. It's nice to be able to write down your thoughts and feelings. It's like journaling but better. People are there to give you insight. Hope all is well and I hope to continue enjoying the company of everyone here.

I'm glad you feel safe here Oasis.
