Has this helped?

[Guerraqueen90]

I'm very new here. Just wondering has this site been helpful to anyone? I don't have the opportunity to get any therapy, cant afford it. I just need some support and help.

Welcome!

I do my best to support others, but honestly today is the first time I've revisited in at least a year. But it's nice to have a place of communal disparages where honesty and kindness are valued above all else.

As a very casual guest of this site, I can say that my few shameful postings have always been acknowledged by supportive and empathetic comments. Regardless of the contents of the replies, it feels really good allowing others to see the ugliest parts of me, and hearing them try to make it beautiful.

Thank you so much for your honest answer. My life has been crazy lately and feel like i have not much support

Hi Guerraqueen90, I believe that you can find the help and support you need from

this amazing forum. By reading the journeys that others have gone through, we learn

from them. We take what we need and leave the rest behind. Since we each respond

differently, it can take a little time to find what works best for us. We are not doctors

or therapists but just another person who like yourself struggled with mental health issues.

In the past 5 plus years that I've been here, I have seen many success stories. *including my own. You've taken a first step forward into no longer staying stuck but in trying to go forward to reach your goal and be happy again. We're here for each other xx

It's been really helpful for me. Just seeing other people's posts and reading about their day gives me that feeling of connectedness, even though I've never met them, and that's a good feeling. I come on here regularly and I'm glad I do.

Hi, this site has been helpful to me, both for the support and advice offered, and for the opportunity to offer sympathy to others which helps me take my mind off myself. I have been feeling much less self-pity since joining HU.

Welcome, I hope you find support here too!
