Hi all.
I joinded NMP at a dark point in my life and was so welcomed and helped by the people I spoke to. If I hadn't chatted with certain people then I'd still be suffering symptoms I knew nothing about. Globus Hystericus (sp?) was a biggy for me. Once someone told me what it was it evaporated in weeks.
Also I became House Bound for over a month (Agrophobic) and without a big kick up the a$$ from an NMP member may still have been that way.
Thing is NMP has helped me a great deal. So much so that if it wasn't here I'd have probably done something silly.
2 months after joining though I found myself not only still in theropy myself but helping individuals through the trauma. Eventually it all became too much - you can't be broken yourself and fix other people.
After talking 3 people down (at least I hope I did) from suicide threats I decided enough was enough. I was here for help not more angst.
I've only posted once in 6 months, and dearly miss the forums. I'm not sure whether I'm better for it or not, but I certainly know I am no worse.
The point of the thread is that its number 1 that counts - thats you. If you gain more than you lose then its a winner. Turn it around and its not so.
I'm not having a go at Nic or any of the mods here - they have been absolutely fantastic to me and I thank them greatly for it.
It just seemed that NMP is more than it looked like on the surface. It may have changed in recent months. Hopefully I'm on the mend - my bottle of pills may say otherwise. Its just that people out there that suffer need to remember just one thing - it all comes from within. Like giving up cigs, booze whatever. You have to want to want it.
NMP has been great to me, but there came a time to take stock. If you put more in than you get out (and this goes for everything in life), then put yourself first.
