Hello, first time on this forum

[soleil]

Hello, this is my first time on the forum, I think this place would be a good place for me to try to sort out my problems. I feel like I have a lot of unsolved childhood trauma and I don't know where to start, so I'm gonna try to use this forum to slowly sort out my problems, thank you for bearing with me.

hello and welcome to the forums.

anywhere you want to start will be fine. All the people here are supportive and non-judgmental. So when you are ready and in your own time ...

also, if you want a break from "whatever" the social zone on the forums here is worth a look also.

Hello Soleil, can I join Grandy and Smallwolf in welcoming you and know starting to explain any reason why you want to post a comment is certainly not easy to people you don't know.

The best part, is that on the forums the people have encountered their own type of depression which range from one extreme to the other, so a huge variety of topics have been discussed.

It is easy to type what you want to say, but then to post it, you worry about any replies back to you, but there is no criticism, only words of endearment, support and advice from the experience we ourselves have gone through, so please when you are able to get back to us, that would be great.

Geoff.

Hi soleil, & welcome from me, too.

There is really no need to rush. May I suggest a little about yourself, in general? Something like, "I'm a little over middle age, been in treatment for a long time, live alone, have had more instances of trouble than I can count...& that picture there is of my cat, who is no longer with me, but forever in my heart".

Hope to chat more, when you are ready.
