Hi, Welcome to our little family here. I have been in the mental health system, for what seems forever. As a consumer not as a giver. Your post reminded me of something that has been drummed into my head over the years, because at one point I was considering suicide. I also am a mother and a grandmo...

Glad that you found us ongoingstruggle. I suppose the name that you have chosen, pretty well says it for how things are going for you. It is true that you have found a place where no one can see you. For me, I also found it easier to share when it wasn't with someone I knew. A long time ago I was to...

Hi Crista, Looking forward to getting the chance to know you better. It seems so often that people have no trouble, spouting off whatever to anyone that they meet. They don't seem to realize how hard it is for some of us to verbalize our thoughts. For too many years, I kept too much stuff inside. I ...

Welcome Trinket to our forum family. I am one of those members that only post to the forums, I can't do the chat room thing. It is too fast moving for me. For as long as I can remember people have been telling me that I am my own worse enemy and that I need to be easier on myself. Over the years I w...
