It's not fair that the internet can be so helpful and harmful all at the same time. This is a site that should bring comfort, encouragement, and success on our travel through Anxiety/Panic disorder. I'm still pretty new here myself, so I don't know exactly how I fit in or who I fit in with, but I want to be part of this caring, optimistic group of people. But I am going to be a bit more cautious about how I go about posting here, because it's obvious there is, at least, one person who is into playing mind games, if not more. Please be careful on here. Be careful because the internet is so full of deception and it is too easy to be tricked. Just know that you are doing a great job Meg and Nicola! And try to let this junk roll off your back, because I think the majority of posters here are genuine and sincere.
Thank you all of you who have been helpful and encouraging! Thank you all of you who are really sincere and not putting on an act! Don't give up doing what is good for a few imposters/posers who don't have the courage to be honest about who they really are. I believe in this site and I believe in sticking together to help each other succeed. Stay positive and ignore the stupid junk. Don't trust too soon. Take your time, but don't feel threatened either! And especially don't feel responsible for someone else's destructive behaviors!!!!!! We all have choices and we are not imprisoned to making bad choices, no matter WHO you are what you've been through. Even if you have a mental illness, you do not have the right to abuse people or intimidate them. You DO have a choice and you can make the right choices. WHOEVER you are, I know someone who is very close to me, who has gone through so many horrifying, unimaginable experiences, but she is the most caring, giving, loving person you will ever meet. And FULL of faith!! Choose to do what is right and you will be rewarded richly!
That said, I've put in my 2 cents. I hope that no one loses precious sleep or gets set back in their panic/anxiety over a teeny destructive particle in a huge ocean of warm, wonderful people! Hang in there and ignore the junk!!!
