In reply to a support that works, posted by octopusprime on October 24, 2004, at 20:58:21
AdaGrace, i don't think i could have said it better than octopP.
i started lurking last october and started posting in (i think) feb of this year, maybe late jan...can't remember, anyway i went through stages, worked up slowly posting...then would post like every day to almost everyone. this last episode that i ended up in the hospital really changed somethings for me. one is access to babble, and two is my professional support is really lacking right now and i can barely deal with my own stuff so i haven't been frequenting it. the motto here is Give when you can and Take when you need it.
I can say with all my heart that i have met such INCREDIBLE people here. it is amazing. i've never felt so accepted or understood as i do here. But we also understand when others need breaks, or it's time for them to move on.
Like ANY web disucssion board there will be 'meanies' or people waiting to argue. i just choose not to read from those posters or i refrain from answering them. (and with my temper sometimes that's a LOOOOOT of restraint).
but know there are many great links, great support , excellent information help and the best people in the world. All dealing with their own issues at the same time as you and i.i hope you stay but frequent at a pace and only read or reply when you want or need to.
best wishes
B2c.
