It seemed so dark and lonely out here in PAFland. You happen on this forum linked to AFA and wonder whether to engage with strangers, nervous about revealing your innermost stuff. You reach out uncertainly, with great anxiety and little hope it will help. Then the most wonderful thing happens. You feel warm hands reaching back out to you; people who don't know you and your faults and failings but they understand like no-one else does. Its a warm wave of love and genunine support; and a place to relax and lighten up. Thank you and very well done everyone. I feel different now. I'm not alone. XM

What a lovely thing to say Marilyn. You have summed up this forum perfectly with what you have written. I'm sure you'll soon be one of those offering support to others too. Just a few words of understanding can mean so much to someone feeling extremely alone with AF.

Thank you.

Yes, this forum has been amazing for me, without it I would feel isolated. Great to know others understand where you are coming from and advice has always been helpful.

Yes this is a wonderful place. When your partners answer to everything is 'you need to do some exercise' it's good to hear from people who actually now how you feel.
