Hey @Juliet2 ,

No pressure of course.

Prompts include:

1) What brought you to the forums?

2) What do you hope to achieve from the forums?

3) What are you currently doing to help yourself?

4) Do you currently have any supports in place?

Hi @Juliet2 

How are you today, read your interactions with @Snowie @Max33 @lavenderhaze you have got a lot going on in your life at the moment, maybe your head is full of jumbled thoughts, but thats ok.  Just start explaining where ever you wish, whats going on.  Talking is the start of the recovery, and from my own experience finally talking about it, lifts a huge weight from your shoulders.  So give us a try,  there are many and I mean many shoulders here for you to lean on.  Please take care of yourself 🙂

I find it easier to talk in response to questions like this sorry, but my head is pretty full!

1) What brought you to the forums?

I don't want to feel alone, I want to talk with someone that understands the reality, but no one ever truly will. I want to feel connected & understood

2) What do you hope to achieve from the forums? I'm not really sure yet, I'm not sure forums feel right for me atm, I need to see who I'm speaking to before I truly open up, and I suspect that could take years. I guess I'll see how it flows

3) What are you currently doing to help yourself?

Trying to keep busy and distracted, I actually just want to cry and let everything out

4) Do you currently have any supports in place?

Some, I'm selective with who I speak with. I've got a good GP, but I think it will take a bit to build the team around me i need. I'm not simple or straightforward, I think even the best of the best would run away from me!
