Hello to all,

I was just daydreaming and found myself focusing on that one thread that binds all of us here in the DF together.

Everyone of us came here for the same reason, seeking compassion and understanding and maybe some education
and even a friend or three. And whether we meet each other in some way or not, we are still connected.

It's almost as if we are a profession of our own. Beauticians, lawyers, waitress's, computer whizzes, all of the typical and even atypical
professions bind themselves together by the use of forums, and weekly newsletters and meetings and such.

And here all of us are, bound for the same reasons, in a selected meeting place. We come in and we go, looking for an old
friend or maybe a new one. Our 'magnetism' is at work within. Aren't we all lucky to have each other?
Aren't we all lucky to have this meeting place?

Despite our afflictions, we still have the capacity to find others in common and share our feelings. Whether we simply commiserate
or offer true words of hope, someone is always here for the other.

We are lucky for this.
Maybe it's time we thank the people who are directly responsible for creating this haven, as they suffer the same as the rest
of us do. But they went an extra step to make a place that is open to all. Thank heavens for the strong. May their weaknesses
lessen and their wisdom grow.

And thank you - for being here for me.

Always Trying

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Hi i've been reading the forums for some time now and just joined yesterday.

Had i know such an avenue for help existed i would've come here a long time ago.

Its good that such a community exists and we can all help support and care for each other because no one else really understands.

Sometimes we just need someone to relate to.. someone to listen to us..


Im suffering from depression and have crazy mood swings from time to time.

Its tiring - but i can still bear it.

I just feel it unjust that my partner has to go through this because of me. Im so afraid of losing her eventually..

Still im glad to have found this place and know guys/girls like you.
