Hi,


This is my first time in a support group of any kind.  I am not sure what to do or where to begin.  Any help is appreciated.


Thanks.

Hi Puddler...write what ever you want :) were all here for the same reason...for me, it's to keep myself/head out of the 'worm hole" during the long winter months.

Hi! Welcome. I’m not consistent in posting here as much as used to be. But this is a really great group with lots of caring, supportive people. And it has helped me through some of my darkest times. I encourage you to post whatever and whenever.

Thank you to everyone and their comments. I am a 48-year-old mother of 3, step-mother of 1 and grandmother of three that lives in the Midwest. I have lived with and grew up surrounded by mental and personality disorders but back then it was just lived with and not talked about or dealt with through lots of alcohol. Fortunately, I am not an abuser of it, however it is a curse of most of my family which doesn't help me or my lack of self-esteem. Too much information? Again, I was not sure how this is done. All your posts have been very helpful and I feel like I might have found my spot.
Thank you

Welcome aboard. If you troll the board here you’ll find that we talk about just about everything, not always related to our illness either. I hope you will participate and be comfortable

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
