Had I Not Found This Community…
I might not have realized the extent of trauma or suffering that I experienced as a child.
The importance of this is to heal those wounds, even as some of them were previously repressed.
There are no easy answers to overcoming certain situations in life, especially when one’s illness continues to be “front and center.”
For me, I focus on the notion of “growth…” and, that’s all I plan to do!
What has this community done for you?

If I hadn’t found this community, I’d probably be stagnating watching Netflix all day.

I spent a lot of years stuck in my symptoms, listening to music, watching very little TV, but stuck nonetheless.

I’d be more lonely and without a sense of belonging

I’d feel much more alone and that I don’t have anything to offer to the world.

Within this community, you are definitely helping! As I am sure you are elsewhere!

I still feel very new to this community, and the introvert in me often prefers to read and absorb from afar. But I’m noticing that I can access my feelings a little better by connecting and relating to the vulnerable sharing of others. So thank you for your part in that. 😊
