hello

puppetpuppetMember
hi everyone,
i've been 'hanging around' for a few days reading some of the posts (and feeling a bit like a stalker too... or more like someone who hears a really interesting conversation and would like to join in but doesn't know how...) i'm always surprised at the supportive and loving posts between (almost) strangers and i hope i won't feel too 'undeserving' of those.
i thought i'd say hello first before i dump my issues on people i've never even met and feel really selfish for it.
so, hello, first and look forward to meeting and 'talking' to you !

nice to meet you all and thanks for the welcome messages! and thanks for saying i'm not selfish.

i'll post again when i'm feeling more in agreement with myself (about whether to post or not and how much to say...etc)

i think i'll stick with 'stranger anxiety' for now... even though i am an adult and have been one for years (technically speaking) Roll Eyes

Welcome Puppet!

Don't worry about feeling selfish or undeserving. I agree with Free-on-Thursdays comment; these "conversations" are what gives us the ability to heal ourselves and support others.

As far as how much to say, just say as much or as little as you want. I can be quite a chatterbox Big Grin so don't worry about saying too much.

let it roll, puppet. i know i have, we have times we are more the 'ranter' and more the 'helper', so the 'helper' time will come for you, too.

feel easy to say what you need to say, i think we all, at times, have done just that. so ease into it as is best for you, but don't be too afraid, as you may really get some support that is from the unique perspective of us being there, too, perhaps!! good to meet you, jill

Be a Patron Member

Get psychotherapy help to make your therapy easier and better.



Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
