New to this forum
 

Hi -

I've been thinking about posting to this forum for some time now. A friend committed suicide July 2004. One of the saddess days of my life as she had asked for help the previous weekend and I had said no, I was too busy. I'll be honest I don't know what to say about all this - I miss her and am sad I was not present for her. Time has passed and that's what's mended my heart and lessened the guilt...Sometimes it is like it was yesterday. I am glad there is a place to talk about this - I love how supportive this group is and look forward to participating......Hopefully, I won't be a thread killer :)

Hi back to you too. My name is Anne and I'm so pleased to meet you. I'm sure you won't be a thread killer, 'cos if I can't manage to kill a thread then no-one can! :)

I'm relatively new to this SOS forum as well, but who better to welcome you than another newbie who knows what it's like. I have a whole heap of problems that have been on my mind lately; some medical, some pschycological, some I've shared, some I've been too embarrassed to share.

What I have found to be the most special part of this forum is that you give only what you want to give, but you get to receive as if you gave the world!

I have met the most wonderful people since I joined NeuroTalk and I cannot believe how lucky I am that they have accepted me into their hearts. I feel like I belong here, and I don't think there's any better recommendation in the whole wide world than that. These people love me. I feel it..... and we've never even met.

I hope you also will feel the way I do about this very special group of people. The are my family now, and I have grown to love them. Every single one.

hi C-star,

welcome and thanks for posting and please keep on posting/talking about "it"

sometimes, that's all we can do, is to talk about it and hope that would help.

these are very nice folks here, eh?

how about a (((hug))) to start with?

btw, I don't think a "thread killer" really exists...I think threads have a lives of their own and if one looks at it this way, it has to END somewhere...LOL

(came back to add that looks like k77 and I were posting at the same time. She is much more elegant than I am...LOL)

Sorry C-Star for going off topic here, :Off-Topic:

but I have a message just for "Moi"

Welcome Crwstar
we are glad you are here :hug:
I am sorry about how "things" went for you. I dont think the guilt lessens or goes away one just learns how to accept it..live with it, cope and keep moving into the next day... Time dose seem to make things more bareable. So dose good friends, talking, getting support and caring understanding people to share with.
I hope you will come "wonder" with us its a great way to get to know others .
glad you found your way to N.T. and really happy you shared with us, :grouphug:
There are lots of us to lean on ask questions to and just be silly with. We try to help and support each other as much as possible, So far I have found this forum the best place to be understood and supported .Its safe ,friendly and I call it my 2ed home :D. Hope that soon you will too.
PEACE
BMW

Hi BMW
 

I too look forward to calling this my second home. I first started posting on NT on the aneurysm forum - got one of those along with a pituitary tumor. Those things aside I'd come on here just about everyday and literally felt a pull to join this forum and I am really glad I did cause Wow even as I write I am surprised at the emotion that is still there. Tells me there is still some healing that is needed.

Well spoken BMW about guilt - Acceptance takes me in a different direction than trying to make it go away. Never quite been good at accepting what hurts.

Ok, I'm gladly ready to let go of the thread killer title. :D
Based on how many posts I've done I don't know how I figured I was one.

I love that you are everywhere curious - seeing people in different forums makes it feel even more welcoming and comfortable. :hug:

You and I have talked on the epilepsy forum, the headache forum --- hmmmm I didn't see you on my face-lift forum, did I? But I didn't know you had that pituitary tumor and annie. Good grief! - I'm sorry to hear that.
How's it going? It was a brain tumor that cause me to develop epilepsy.

In the hospital for my last surgery for the nasty oliog brain tumor in my left temporal lobe I was in a room with a young woman dealing with that annie stuff. Have you had surgery for that? How about the tumor? Am I being too nosy?
You're already in my prayers --
