This is my first post, I want to see what this network has to offer. I’m excited because I’ve heard good things about this site, but I’m still a little lost using the app. I’m sure the more I use the app and fool around on here I will understand it better and it will be easier to use. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Hello and welcome to the site! The app isn’t great 😕. At least not in my opinion but in general the people are. Don’t be afraid to reach out to us all or individually if you think it will help and I hope you find happiness 🙂

Thank you so much for reaching out to me and welcoming me. It makes me feel accepted and included. I appreciate the tip. I first came across this site online not in the App Store and I noticed a difference already. I will keep that in mind. 😊 I am so glad to hear that people on here are nice. If you ever want to talk to me you can! Thank you. I hope you have a great day.

Hi jgjuka18, it's nice to know you have heard good things about this site. I may be a little prejudice but I think it's one of the best support sites around. You are about to meet an amazing group of men and women of all ages who never judge and are understanding and caring. You have found a safe place to come to in finding answers and suggestions that come from our own experiences.

Welcome jgjuka, you are never going to be alone again. You are now a part of this virtual support family. xx

Your comforting words almost brought tears to my eyes. I don’t think you understand how badly I needed to hear that. I have used two other sites similar and I enjoy them, but obviously I’m still looking at other networks. I’ve been using PatientsLikeMe and the Mighty and I think they are both amazing, but I don’t have connections on there. I will post on there and receive comments, but it doesn’t start a conversation. I still feel alone on those sites. I’m very hopeful that this site will be different because of how welcoming everyone is. I appreciate you reaching out to me to welcome me. Thank you so much.

Hi Jgjuka18,

You're in the right place. I haven't been here that long either, but I can honestly say it has been very helpful. Like anything else, you get what you put in. Send love and support and watch it come right back to you. But best of all is the kind heartedness and gentle advice offered on the not so good days. Glad you're here.

Wow! Thank you so much. You are so sweet for welcoming me and reaching out to me. I already feel the love and I will of course return it. I am here to support anyone and everyone that needs it, plus to share my own thoughts and experiences. Thank you for welcoming me. I look forward to talking with you more.

I saw on your profile page that you take care of your dad full time as a caregiver. I don't know you but I think that is awesome and really shows character. You have a lot on your plate with the that and college and dealing with mental health issues. You seem like a strong person. Not only will you get a lot out of what people have to share on this forum, it sounds like you have a lot to offer too.

[jgjuka18 in reply to Marshall64]

Thank you! People tell me that I’m strong but I don’t feel strong. I wish I could see what everyone else is seeing. I’m glad you think I have a lot to offer and think so highly of me. That makes me feel good. I can’t wait to get to know everyone.

Thank you so much! I’m 24 years old and I struggle with depression, PTSD, anxiety and Erbs Palsy. I’m in college full time and I’m my dads primary caregiver. He has Alzheimer’s and primary progressive aphasia. Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
