Friends?

[Molszx]

Would anyone consider meeting up for a chat, im desparate since ive pushed people away previously and with no one to go to feel like i now need to do something. Im 23 years old and female and from tamworth staffs. I want to talk about your experiences

I'd love to do that but live far from you. Feel free to pm me if you are needing dto talk or would like to have me share my experiences with you. I am a 62 year old female who has struggled with depression and PTSD

Hi as this site is international it is unlikely anyone would be near enough to you to meet up. Why not join in with us on here and you will be able to make online friends. Not as good as face to face but much better than nothing. x

Hi Molszx, Welcome to this community. You'll find folks here are very supportive and very willing to come alongside and share from their experiences. I appreciate that you want to meet up with folks, but do remember that part of the benefit of this forum is that it is anonymous, online, and as one person has pointed out, international, and anything you share in the public domain, including personal details could be reproduced anywhere on the world wide web. Sometimes it's easier for people to open up and express their feelings in an anonymous, reduced risk way, 24/7, without the pressure of meeting physically. This isn't a general social internet chat room, but specifically for sharing about mental health issues for both those who struggle with MH conditions or for their carers. As such people here can be quite vulnerable at times and we need to respect their privacy as well as our own. Use the private message (PM) if you do want to share privately with someone. But just be cautious. Do review our Community Guidelines and T&C's in the Pinned posts section to remind yourself of what is expected of forum members using this online community.

Take care, keep posting!

Best wishes,

MAS Nurse

Hey! Same as some folk up here, I'm super willing to chat by PM any time. I'd love to share experiences and just be around for a bit of extra comfort.

Take care!

I get the pushing people away i became a master at it! Unfortunately people dont realise its because we are low,anxious,full of self doubt etc. As others have said pm if needed. I have only replied to posts starting today cause i felt so self doubt even about talking online.

I am from west coast of Scotland and a guy def does not show weakness its a stereotype thing

We can private chat if you'd like. I'd love to help and talk to someone who is around the same age like me. I'm 20 years old and female.

Hey Molszx, I'm not sure meeting up would be realistic, but if you'd like to PM I am more than happy too. get email alerts from here so I can reply pretty swiftly.
