What a great community site.

It has made me feel so much better hearing your stories. I was feeling quite alone and very depressed at my diagnosis.

Hearing your tips and advice jas been really helpful. Thank you

Hello and welcome. I know just how you feel as I felt I was the only one going through all of this and it's great to know we're not alone. Lots of good tips and advice here too.

Hello jo-53,

I'm a newbie too, from yesterday. I just happened to come across it.

I've spent loads of time reading as many posts and the links as well. Don't the people seem so honest and genuine in wanting to help and give out useful information you couldn't get anywhere else?

You said it though, that's just how I was feeling-alone and depressed.

The only expression I could have used was I felt 'lost'.

I hope things seem a little lighter now and not so deep down hopeless for you. Things can seem worse at times.

Can I ask what your diagnoses is or don't you want to say?

A trouble shared is a trouble halved, as they say.
