Hey guys, I just want to say thank you, to each and everyone of you. This site is great, it feels like a safe space for me, which I need during this time in my life. The people here are wonderful and considerate, I even think I made a few new friends.

You see . . . I suffer a few things, and yes I'm getting help for them. Before I go on I want to say I'm not posting this for attention over the issues but more to come out in ways, in case others suffer the same or need a place to post and share as well. Feel free to post below. And please no negative vibes or insults towards each other.

I suffer anxiety, depression, PTSD, dependence disorder, and well I can't seem to leave the house without someone I know and trust with me. I break down in attacks at times, so I'm stuck at home a lot and am currently low on funds. That said this site . . . just browsing or keeping up with the pages, reading you guys thoughts at times. It has really helped me. I'm honestly nervous about posting this, but for some reason, something inside me says I should. Most my friends online don't know how bad I am . . . only a few close ones I have told. But yeah I guess over all I just wanted to say thank you. All of you, for making this site so great.

And a small train. (my first train) It isn't much

Have a whitelist for your courage and ratio (especially with low funds).

Hope things get better for you.

Thank you. I am going to a free clinic group at the moment. See a shrink as much as she can book me, which is every other month. So I am doing my best to see how I can get help. But sites like this help a lot, the distraction and the friendly people I see when I am starting to go down some.

Thank you for sharing your story with us, even though it was hard for you to do.:)

I am sure that there are others here that have similar situations, and knowing that they are not alone may help them, even if it just by a little.:)

If you have any thing that may help I would love to hear it. ^.^ My sis got me a dog two days ago, and she's the sweetest thing so when I start to get shake and stuff at home going to her helps me some. Thank you for the support.

I truly understand, believe me. I've started getting a lot worse as I aged. As I matured I thought I'd maybe find ways to cope but for me it doesn't work that way as the emotions I face seem to get a lot more extreme and intense as time passes. My dog is my anchor in life, I'm glad you got one too.

I've thought about joining a few times. I just have a hard time focusing at times so wasn't sure if I could beat a game within a month or at times get to it. I have a small list of games I promised myself to play asap due to the kind people who offered them to me. ^.^ But thank you for the invite.

For you I'll try it out then. I tend to only put in for games on here in which I plan to play soon. I sort of made myself promised that the games I won here I have to play asap (I know stressful I shouldn't do) out of respect for those who were kind enough to host. I don't mind trying, although if it's okay, any games I include in your group for giveaways. I don't mind if they don't play right away. ^.^ As long as the game in some ways makes them happy.

Yeah, I have my SG "code" too! =D
I only give away games that I'd play myself so there will be less 'trashy' games and no CV farming.
And I only enter a giveaway if I make sure I will definitely play a game so I watch some gameplay videos and check if the game is alive atm because sometimes trailers are deceptive and multiplayer-only games have no playerbase. =|
4.000 games hidden so far.

Sometimes you just win a game in "Playing Appreciated" and this fact makes it even more interesting to play so it's like a "fun booster" for me xD
It also makes sense to give away games to people who will play it, just like you would =P

You're right. ^.^ and I try to get games I think are pretty or neat looking. Games I would get for myself when I post them. Or games my friends really liked and suggested others may even thought they aren't my cup of tea.

Hello. :3 You're really brave. I hope everything will go well for you. I read that you got a dog. Good thinking, since a dog can improve your mood. The dog can also go outside with you, so you won't be afraid of being alone when outside. I hope you'll heal soon. ;)

Yeah, sis has been saying for months I may need a support animal. I don't know if we can get Foxy to be one (dog's name) but I'm going to ask. Maybe then I can go out with the dog and not feel so bad having to bug my family to take me to group etc.

Parents kept saying. NO MORE DOGS. We had 4 that died of old age then got one for mom. But I started to have attacks at home too that my dad gave in. We found her at the pound, she was so sweet and loving. A gentle soul and she learns and listens well. Half collie half mutt. She's my angel, treasure, princess. She really does just help me a lot, more than she probably even realizes.

Thank you. I'm sorry to hear you went through all that. I'm proud though to also hear you were strong enough to pull through. Yeah . . I go through moments in which I withdrawl . . . and to be honest it's hard for me to stick with most things like the group I go too. But I keep telling myself I have too . . . and do my best not to run. But hearing your words, they're kind of awe inspiring . . . I hope things end up above and beyond what you had, you certainly deserve it.

While I cannot personally relate with your hardships, I still feel with you. Do not get too gloomy over this as all of us have the power to change (as long as we want to) and there are plenty of people around (wherever you are) that are willing (and glad) to help you with overcoming this.

Be strong!

I'll do my best. I don't really have any irl friends here. I just have my sister . . . but my online friends a few of them I have known for years. The few who I didn't lose when I went into my withdrawl from the world stages. (do that off and on.) I have a bit of support. This site though, I never thought there could be such a positive loving place on the net.

Hej Lessieal, i don't know you that much, but i do know that you are a great and kind person, and that i'm happy to have you around here :)

I'm sorry to know that you are not well atm, but you are on the right path, for sure. Expressing how one feels and looking for help in times of need is the first step to get better.
Also, I would suggest that you go and see a Psychologist, i'm sure it would do you well. Our own mind can be our greatest enemy, or allied. And i'm positive a psychologist could help you.

Last but not least. I just want to let you know that you can count on me whenever you need it, ok? Don't hesitate contacting me if you want/ need to talk to somebody about anything ;P

Thank you, I have a group I go to once a week if I can get the nerve not to skip out, and a shrink who sees me as much as she can. Which is usually once every other month. It's a free clinic . . . but I hope it helps. The shrink I like a lot the group . . . they don't let sis in so it's hard at times.
