Hey there just thought I'd introduce myself I'm Sunnoi, this is the first time I've ever joined something like this before so I'm hoping it will be positive and I can give as much as I can get and be able to make some friends along the way.

Yeah I'm not usually the type to talk to people I don't know very much a suffer in silence kinda gal, I've been through my fair share of crap over the years and held things inside for a very long time.
I've finally decided to see a psychologist and so far so good, and today I was alone sitting in my house and everything was silent besides the constant battle I have in my own mind as I'm sure we all share. And I thought to myself I wonder if there is anywhere where people talk about these things? Have like minded people out there that have things they need to talk about like I do?
Usually the silence doesn't bother me, but it has been getting to me alot lately. I only have a very small circle of people in my life that I can trust and speak to so I normally will talk to them, however it seems a fair amount of my contributions far out weigh what I've always put into these relationships then what I get back which is hard and frustrating.
I'm looking forward to getting to know people on here and helping if I can and vice versa.

I'm glad that you are not suffering in silence any longer
My wife is out of the house working all day and it gets pretty quiet here for me. We can't have a doggo at the moment, which would help.
I hope that you get benefits out of your interaction with a psychologist. It is a big step to start engaging with one.

Yeah thank you I'll definitely give it a go and see how it goes.
A doggo would definitely help and that sucks you can't get one!
My partner works fulltime and I work casually so it does get pretty quiet sometimes.

Hi @Sunnoi
I used to consider myself a gamer chick too. I used to play World of Warcraft around the clock. Now my computer is not up to running it. I need a new gaming computer but can’t afford one. I do hope you will find friends here. It’s a lovely supportive community.
