Hi everyone! I’m new here, so I am not familiar with how things work, but I know I need help with an array of things.

I’m not sure how things work since I am new to this, or anything like this. My story that brought me to seeking out this group today is long and complex. I was just curious if there is someone, anyone, willing to be a sponsor to me per se. Someone willing to correspond with me via email daily that is willing to listen and offer advice. I am willing to listen you as well. I feel really alone in my situation. Even when I am surrounded by people. I need so badly to talk to another human openly and honestly so I can try to get myself out of this deep hole of depression. Someone who understands, won’t judge, and understands that for me, doing the smallest most mundane tasks are like running a marathon. Does this group have people willing to work peer to peer with someone they don’t even know? I would really appreciate any feedback, and I don’t have any preferences as to male or female. I just need anyone that is open minded, and willing to help me. Hopefully I can help you as well. I am a great listener, and I will not judge you. Thank you!❤️

I'm new to here too. And I had been thinking all day about were I was just a few months ago (a really dark place) and where I am today and how I want to give back by sharing my story with others and hope that it can help them to see I'm proof of coming out of that dark place. I'm not near where I would call a safe zone from depression but I'm not even close to where I was. I'm still dealing with some much in my life that is not as stable as I would like things to be but I'm finding peace and love within myself in order to deal with life better. I've been online today researching how I can find a way to go out in this world an speak to others who are going through that dark place and need to know they can come out of it. So to answer your question I am open.

Thank you! I would love to take you up on your offer. Someone else messaged me, and they are going to help as well. Having 2 people would be amazing. Please inbox me whenever you feel up to it, and we can try to help each other.

well....unlike some recovery groups we really don't do a sponsor type of set up here.... and because you are completely anonymous, nobody knows you here from the real world unless you want them too...we all share openly pretty much. There is pm that we also use to talk about private questions or just off topic stuff with our friends..... but the site is an open forum of very kind and compassionate people who have their own life experience dealing with their own stuff....and your not alone.... we come from all backgrounds, ages, and from all over the world here... this is our safe place to be supported and to offer support. Please know you are welcome and I'm glad your sharing here.
