@Former-Member
I have been reading along and am going to add to the people that want to be here for you. Yes we are going through all our own issues, but to help others at the same time, I find is reeally a form of self care too. I find that by helping others, I can sometimes see things with more clarity, purpose and it has even calmed me down before. I am sure there are others that feel this way too.
At the end of the day, yes we are strangers, but I find the connections on here real. I find that people understand me on here much more than in real life and that there are times where I thought I couldn't continue and other members on here have helped me.
There are times where I can help others and times I need that help myself. And that is ok. We all go through our ups and downs.
I guess what I am saying is we all signed up here for a reason. What was yours?
You are a valuable member of this forum and I have loved talking to you. And I care because you matter so much.
