What this forum has done for me

[Hopeless Dork]

Not only have I found the venting, the sharing, the support to be so very thereputic, but I've just realised that even answering other peoples questions often gives me insight into my own problems.

I answer a question, give my hearts honest answer to it and sometimes in reading it again I see the advice I've given is advice I should be telling to myself as well. I am so busy being down on myself sometimes that I don't tell myself the same things I would tell someone else. In the short time I've been coming here (couple months) I have been able to talk about my feelings and opinions and its gotten me through many of nights where I was feeling unsure.

I just wanted to publically thank CW and all the others that continue to offer support not only to myself but to everyone that comes here seeking it. I think being able to share concerns and help calm the concerns in some small way of other people has kept me so much more centered than I otherwise would be without this place.

I am coming from a place of deep-rooted insecurity and moderate self hatred. I am trying to become a confident woman who knows her own worth. It's a process but I feel like I am on my way. I've learned to quit sabotoging chances at potential happiness out of fear of being hurt. I am opening up to life and have finally let someone in. I'm feel like I am growing emotionally every day.

Again, thanks to everyone, I love hanging around here with all of you. It's like coffee with a best friend, or a night out on the town with the girls, its group therepy and I am so glad I found it

Want to have a glass of wine now?

I do, excepting I am sick.............



On a side note, not many of us take our own advice, straight off the cuff... But, we do eventually.
