I joined this forum because I've been feeling so depressed and lonely. And after a couple of days I feel so much better. Not just from reaching out and getting wonderful advice, but also being able to use my experiences to help others. So thank you everyone

Hello Jenijenjen, hi and welcome.

It's amazing when people want to talk with other people who have or are still suffering from a MI, feel more relaxed, simply because they are talking to others who have experienced this themselves, so there is no criticism at all, only understanding.

We are so pleased for you to be able to join us and help others where you possibly can, very much appreciated.

Geoff.

Hi jenjenjen,

Your post is so thoughtful to others and I'm glad the BB community has been able to help at a time when you needed it.

I joined because I had a problem I didn't know how to handle and really had no one I could talk to about it. I was so down and sad. I was given lots of advice and support and provided with ways to look at it from different perspectives. Which at the time helped me get through it. Through reading others people's posts, I learned various techniques I could use to cope better and these have helped me enormously.

A year and a half later, I'm still here and try to help where and when I can. This was good advice given to me by another BB member which I have tried to follow. I also find support as I read the posts of others.

I'm very glad you are here.
