Thank-you...

This is probably the only time I am going to post. I've been reading for months and have had a few helpful private conversations. No need for any replies...

I just want everyone to know that this site has been very helpful. I have learned a lot and have wanted to respond more than once to many threads. Someone here tells me that I have a lot to offer and that I could also receive so much support from everyone here. I guess I rather just do things on my own and this way - if I fail it is all on me...

I have had so much growth over the past few months, with the usual 1 step forward and 2 steps back, etc. Right now, I believe I may have fallen 10 steps back! And ya know what... I have no one to blame but myself.

There is too much going on here and I can not follow all the threads - not even 1/2 of the current ones. I don't know where to start some days. I want to respond to multiple threads and I would love to start a few myself but emotionally I'm not strong enough. I'm getting lost and I feel so like my mind and heart are going to explode and then all of my thoughts and feelings are going to be exposed.

I am not sure I can handle any of this. But I did want you all to know that this site is great and I'll probably continue to read every now and then. Thanks for helping me grow.

Hi KS,

Hugs! This is such a difficult thing to go through. I recognize a lot of my feelings, I often feel like my head is going to explode.

A very good friend of mine who is a therapist says that it is like a soft drink bottle. If you shake it up and open it straight away then it will all fizz out and hit you in the face. If you let out a little bit at a time though just a little bit of fizz gets out and settles quickly then you can let out a little bit each time but not have the same explosive reaction. You are so right, there is amazing support on this forum and by posting for the first time you have opened that bottle and if you want to keep posting, then it truly does get easier. But if you don't want to post and just keep reading you already know how beneficial that is.

Letting out a little bit on this forum is a great place to get the support and encouragement and wisdom that is needed to face this journey.

Wishing you well.

Hi KS! Thank you for introducing yourself. Smiler You sound so overwhelmed right now. It's okay to take it easy, there is no pressure to do anything, no lines to memorize, no tests to take (thank goodness!) We are all just here to support each other in our journeys however we can. Please know that you are always welcome here, even if you choose to remain a "behind-the-scenes" member of the board. I'm glad to know you're here.

And feel free to "pop" in whenever you feel like it (yes, that was a little spin-off of Halo's soft-drink analogy. In my parts, we call it "pop". Loved it, Halo! Big Grin )

Hugs,
SG Wink

Hi KS,

Sorry I'm posting back so late. I agree that this site is great for support and has lots of very kind and considerate people.

I find it very hard to keep up with all of the threads too! Sometimes I see so much that I want to reply to with a meaningful response but it's just too overwhelming. So my advice to you is to do what you can and try to get the best out of what's on offer here.

Take care,
Mrs. P

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)
