I'm not saying this to brag, but to the contrary--to show my gratitude for DS PTSD and what it means in my offline life.  One of our DS PTSD friends here sent me a message and thanked ME for being a friend.  I'm so humbled. 

That's something that would mean a lot to me any time.  But it means even more after I had a hard time with my friends on my recent visit to Minnesota.  I was shocked to find that I wasn't really valued as a friend there, at least not by one of my hosts.  I was literally told by someone who said they were my friend not to talk about my PTSD recovery as a guest in their home, and I am careful how I speak about it since finding my voice here at DS PTSD.  I got a lot of support for that hard time from you here at DS PTSD while I was there, and I've been recovering from it still day by day since I got home.  

So being told I was a good friend here was really good timing.  It means a lot to know that I can be a good friend right now.  I just wanted everyone who has befriended me here at DS PTSD to know that it means the world to me to be a DS PTSD friend, it really does.  It means the entire world to me, and I'm the grateful one.  

Hugs to all here at DS PTSD.
