Someone asked me why I was on the psychobabble site. I got to wondering. Why was I here? At the time it was just a puzzle to me. Now it's forming into thoughts and words.
This is the first chat room I have ever been in. I stumbled upon it and never left. I have gotten to know a few people. I have been touched by so much of what I see on this site. Okay here comes the personal part: I come from a very dysfunctional family. Anyone who may have followed my postings can see this is true. My mother died this year and with her died the central figure in my lifetime of emotional trauma.
With that said…. I need to rest a moment…
I have never been in a community (I see this site as a community) where I could speak freely about my pain, family mental illness and the love and support I have in me for these struggles. I have met some very kind and supportive people on this site. I am older and now somewhat wiser from all my struggles, healing and connections. I am in the phase of my life where giving back makes sense. So I am here to give when I can. You all have set an unusually high standard. I hope I have something to contribute but I most certainly have something to learn.
When I was a child and I would hear an ambulance siren I would stop and offer a prayer. Now I am an adult and have a scanner. So when I hear someone's in trouble I know where they are and in what kind of danger. I can focus my energy & surround them in the light of love and healing. I pray for all who are involved in the situation to remain calm and do the right thing. Then if someone has died I hold them in as much light as my being can produce. I see psycho babble along those lines. It's a place where no one knows me and I can offer the best I have got at any moment. I can give my light freely. Thank you for this opportunity.

I use to sing my children a song called, "Angels watchin' over me" -- your post brought that to mind after such a long time. I also stumbled upon Babble and am so Thankful to have found it so full of those of you who are willing to give. I am still "taking" but eventually hope to become a "giver."
Your post was a truly wonderful way to start the weekend. Thank you for being willing to be a watchful Angel. I'll look for your light now in some of my darker moments.

This site amazes me. I've only been on it for a few weeks, but already, I've come to look forward to signing on every night to see whats new.
I think this is an incredible group of people, all of whom are here for the benefit of not only themselves, but for all of the people who post here. I've never received so much wonderful advice and felt at home being open with all that's on my mind.
You guys rock. :)

I totally agree with jim D and daisyM.
I am very new here too and I really like reading and getting to know new lives.....lives full of intensity and emotions with which we all feel some commonality more often than not. And its great to see an invisible hand reaching out amidst the cloud of apathy which surrounds us everywhere.
No one is alone on Psychobabble...... and what can be a greater feeling than that !
