Hi Milk Tea. I'm glad that you have decided to join the BB Community. If you've been lurking for a while, you already know that its a great community to be a part of. Very knowledgable, understanding and supportive.

I suffer from anxiety (ptsd and ocd) and intermittent depression (related to chronic pain from a long term injury) and I joined this Community in November last year. My psych initially suggested I join these forums as a means of enabling me to open up a bit about my past trauma, something I hadnt done in the previous 19 years. I have found this very beneficial as an additional support whilst undergoing psychological therapy for my ptsd. In the process I have met some truly lovely people, who I consider to be the best friends I have.

Milk Tea, its lovely to meet you too. Can you tell us what made you decide to join?

A big welcome to you, and I hope to hear back from you soon.

Sherie xx

hi Milk Tea, Sherie has welcomed you with open arms, just as I do and the rest of the people on this site do, and by reading all the different sections or in particular what you are struggling with or what you find more interesting than something else is certainly a good way to introduce yourself, and whether we can help you in any way then please let us.
By joining the site could mean that you want to help others or to get information on helping someone you love, or just for yourself, so we hope to hear back from you. Geoff.
