There is? Well, then it should be made visible, atop your avatar.

Can you shoot lasers from your eyes and fly? Does your shirt have an S or an M?

Seriously though I have nothing but respect for the admins and the mods here. And every user that ever made a post. The term support group doesn't even come close to describing how much this place has helped me.

I have to join the choir here. There is a site like this in my own language, but the people there are mostly engrossed in their own problems and bicker all the time. I posted an issue of mine there, but all that happened was that someone made fun of it.
I am amazed that my problems haven't been looked down on here, even though they are a trifle compared to what most of you are going or have gone through.

Seriously - yes - I can shoot lasers from my eyes. Here's me in my psychforums gear:

No problem is 'trifle' if it upsets you my friend. If it upsets you, then it also upsets me. I think that what is special here is that all of us moderators have problems too. That makes understanding others' easier. This place really is a haven.

Yeah, that's really what surprised me about this site. I had tried some online groups, but it was so unfocused and so many messages left to reply, I never really felt like saying anything.
Then, during a really, REALLY bad time, I found out about this place and scribbled some words that described me with no real wish to be getting replies. But I did get replies and they showed me there are other that feel and live the same situations. That gave me hope. It's still hard, but at least there's a place for me to talk about problems with people that actually understand the real effects of it in one's life and persona.

I just hope this forums remain here for a long time, because I'm going to need its support for a while.

[[[hugs]]] for all of you <--the hugs emoticon always makes me smile, for some reason.

From my limited life experience, everyone has problems. Some people just have better ways to deal with their problems than others. I'm really bad on working out my problems, so to me they seem HUGE, even tough I know they all have solutions.
The great thing is we don't have to prioritize problems here. There's no ER in this "hospital". Everyone should get their share of support.

Wow! Thanks for all the positive feedback. I'm taken aback.

Let me remind you that ALL of us make this site work... thank YOU to everyone here who contributes, mods and "consumers" alike.
