On this site you begin, just as you did, with a post.

Share your experience and the relevant people will answer. You then have an option to go into a private message session with them.

Go to home page, then look to the right, it says meet other like you. When you get to that page read it person problems, then push the one that’s like yours!

I find that it helps to find groups with likeminded interests, that breaks the ice already because you will all have the basics of a similar interest. I loved mycology, mushroom hunting. Also photography groups, gardening groups....all of which also help us with self esteem and make us happy....

Like this! Though I'm realizing a chat would be useful, too. I find commenting on people's posts,whether I have advice to give or can reply to a post with a little of my story that relates, helps. In trying to constructively state my situation, in trying to offer an example of a problem and also showing what might work for me, i help myself as much as I help them.

So whenever I'm down and see an email from the site, responding to posts helps me.
