Hi Lonestar

A Giant Welcome here, I am sure you will find we are all a really great bunch of people and love to try and support others, I myself have only been here for a few months but I have to say when i come and read the posts and even leave a comment and read what others have said, i just feel like I have finally found somewhere that I fit in, Oh Reggie I did not realise you were Terminal I am so sorry to hear that, just going to be honest and say I cant even begin to imagine how your feeling or dealing with it, I am dealing with my own issues which are not nice but not in your league.

Anyway never be afraid to reach out when your down someone will always come and help even if it is a few hours before you get a reply.

Nice to have you here

Helen

I am fairly new to his site but have found everyone to be so supportive and , of course, we all know exactly how you feel because we are in the same situation. Welcome and I hope you get the support that you need.

Hi there.

It's a really supportive place. I've not been here long but have 'spoken' to lots of lovely people. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more x

Hi Lonestar

I've been on this site for almost a year & have found people to be very supportive & caring with great advice. I sometimes come on just to read other posts & sometimes depending on how I feel I would comment. You will find it helpful & make friends. We are all in the same boat & so everyone understands to a certain degree of others problems. Welcome & I hope we get the chance to chat.

Hi and welcome to the website. I've found it really helpful at times. When I've felt really low it's been good to have somewhere to express what I'm feeling, when I've needed a moan then the website is here for that too and when I've had an unexpectedly good period it's been lovely to share that here. It's also really useful sometimes to be able to offer help to other people, not just because of the idea of other people often being in a worse place sometimes but also because we all have experiences to offer and finding people value what we offer is good for self-esteem. I've found that the important thing is to feel free to write whatever you feel, always without being rude of course. There really are no limits to what you can share here, so do use it however you need to. Sue

Hi , just want to say welcome to the site. I just started on this site a few weeks ago, and I think the support is great. Being able to say how your feeling really helps, and at least people understand and care. Reggie I am really sorry to hear about your illness, don't be a stranger if you need any support, Thats whats important in life, loving and being compassionate towards each other, and giving practical suggestions.

Hi Helen, Im a newbie too. Still battling with clinical depressions after 20 years too. Getting hrough each day takes every ounce of energy I have, and often leaves me absolutley exhausted by the end of it ! I feel isolated and disconnected from the outside world and hope this site will feel allieviate such problems.

Have a good day !
