I have been on here since April and I am just now getting up the courage to say hello or to post anything....Hoping to make lots of new friends who understand and have gone thru similar things Peace and Love!
I know how you feel. I am new here too. I lurked around for while before I gained the courage to post. I think you'll find that now that you have it gets easier and that there is a lot of support and good advice from people who understand what you are going through.
I know it feels so good to be able to talk to others and just be yourself. Opening up here has also helped me gain the courage to open up to some of the people in my everyday life.
