I wonder if i can say what i ..feel about flygirls wonders and hope she or anyone will not get mad....
I want to reach out and make new friends and have new ones feel they are able to just start posting. .It may seem like a tight knit group but I only feel that way with a couple of others here .I seem to have more in common with a couple of others here and not the rest of you. But I do consider all of you my family and if I am sliding down I know all of you will reach for me and help me back up and vice versa.
I have never thought about how I or the others here might look to a new person. If I worried about that then I probly wouldn’t want to share my history or come here when I am feeling very depressed and having bad thoughts because of how I might look to others or to new people … I think it is just the way life is, all over.... if your freshly coming to a new place be it here or a new class or a new town or a new job… it is just that way.

When I first came here I didn’t think or wonder!! I recall my first post very well about my best pal. I recall how Bizi responded in a caring way almost like God had her waiting there just to help me. I never met her before or anything.I didnt sit and read a bunch of posts before i posted I just seen it was a forum aboout survivors and suicide. And afterI got help for my friend... I shared about me and my past with suicide. [B][B]Yet I honestly know hardly any of the rest of yours history. Maybe we could have a thread that shares about why we have all come to the sos or what it was like when we first came here? So that new members and lurkers will not feel so much like an outsider and we can kind of all be back at square one talking about why we came to sos and how it felt first time posting …etc.
I don’t know how to make this forum more of a nice, safe welcoming place. I rather come to a nice close group then a place where everyone is standing back by themselves each in a corner.
I dont understand about the lack of group support? I always see everyone posting support for everybody else. be it a thread for that person where evryone sends support or spreading support all threw the wonder threads to the group in genral.I dont get the lack of group support.i must not understand what it is or what you meen fly girl. and please dont be angry at me or anything . as I am not angry or mad at you or anyone else .
PEACE
