about PsychCentral. I think PsychCentral is the most supportive community I've had the opportunity to be a part of. I'm HONORED to be a member. It's members have touched my heart, reached into my soul, and have shared with me their knowledge and insight. When I've felt the most isolated and misunderstood, I've come here and been accepted and understood.

This is a post about what I feel is wonderful about our community and its members.

Please share your positive comments?

Thanks What I Believe

I have also received a lot of wonderful support from many of the people on this site when I needed it, which seems to be a lot lately. It makes getting through those hard times a little easier and there are no words that can really express how thankful I am for that support. I also like to give support to others who are in need as well and hope that it helps, if even to know that they are not alone. This site is also a good place to get information on the different disorders, meds, etc. I'm very glad to have been shown the way here. What I Believe

I've learned so much about expressing my self here - the others on this site have taught me that it's ok to say how Im feeling, how I'm *really* feeling. I feel safe here. I can say anything and not be judged, condemned or made to feel silly or like a fraud.

I never doubt the supportive replies I recieve from strangers - strangers who know more about me than anyone else in my life. Strangers who have shown me that I can be strong, and that I am not alone. I feel like I will never be alone again.

kimmy, there is a lot of things positive about this site and it's members. I personally don't know what I would do without it/them. As already mentioned, I too have said things here that I have not told my own family. What I Believe

kd,

This forum is the one and only place I have to tell the truth. I am reluctant to think where I would be without it and the great people here who have helped me.

There are so many kind and caring people here...I thank them all.

ps. that would include ((kd)). What I Believe

I came to this place in one of the deepest pits of despair I had ever been in. A pit so deep there seemed only one way out. Someone who is now a dear friend reached out to me and held me up when I couldn't stand on my own. Since then, with the help of everyone's amazing support, I have started meds and today I started therapy. I love everyone here so very much. You are all amazing. I couldn't do this without all of you. Thanks everyone. And Kimmy, great posting.

I really do think that this place is the BEST place on the internet for support of mental health issues. This is a brilliant site full of caring people. I'm so glad I'm a member here. It's the only place where I have found true support, acceptance and friendship, and in general, a very comforting atmosphere.

As I was reading through the posts, this song came to mind... about the people here. It's true. I've never been to any kind of support group where people really do give you support. Not only that, but you feel loved, cared for and most of all, respected.

Because You Loved Me

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me What I Believe
