FEELINGS FOR THE FORUMS

Mental health
1

Since joining one ot two or more of the forums ,some ten months ago,Ihave to say that I have found some comfort, ideas ,some good, a few to be ignored. .Some interesting people some, like myself who cope with their

problems with a sense of humour, and some who get terribly stressed.

On the whole I think it helps to bring your problems out and share them with people who are total strangers,but can offer a shoulder to whinge 

on.

Seemingly some "Forumers" join, then disappear.  probably because 

there are no instant cures ,or medical advisors (a very rare breed)

Well, those are  my thoughts, have to see a G.P later ,who will ,no

doubt, ask me  if I am drinking plenty of water .

Hi Jacqueline01135. Nice to hear from you. I have only been in the forums for a couple of days and already feel a bit better. I feel it is like having a lot more friends to talk to so helps my lonelyness. I hope everyone feels the same. Just think of it as an extended family.

Welcome to your extended families. Lots of Forums for Lots of pains..

Don't expect nice all the time ,'Cos for your own good ,you need to be 

guided

Hi Jacqueline

You are right in saying that forums give

People the chance to open up , to tell

Their story etc . We all act like each other's

Agony aunt . Most of us can relate to any post even if it's just a reply for those who need to just talk . It certainly has helped

Me as more than often you think your alone

In the way you feel .

Hello Daz,   I think the worst thing to hit me ,was as you rightly said,

the feeling that . as i had never heard of the disease that I had just acquired . I was the only person with it,and feeling desperate ,I

started Divi Diners and boy was I glad I did .People and help came

in shedloads, and the feeling of relief was enormous.  and it's so nice when people keep bobbing in and out just to talk.it really does help
