Hi Ladies, Shasta Here! :0D
I have been kinda a voyeur listening to your conversation and I respect everyones' views,opinions and coping skills.
But Please just remember,WE COME TO THIS BOARD FOR SUPPORT & TO SUPPORT EACH OTHER!
Everyone deals with anxiety,stress,panic,etc.in different ways.
Please let's not judge each other.
Just reading your guys conversations made me anxious!(No,I'm just kiddn!) :oP
Each and everyone of you are wonderful, and have a lot to offer to the community.
I know I need all the help, support and advice I can get! ;0)
I admire each of you, and how you are conquering your anxieties on a daily basis.
But seriously, This board is for SUPPORT,regardless of your views and if you take meds or not...Some of us really need the meds (and truly for those of us who do-We aren't just 'popping a pill' for the fun of it! LOL!)...
Some of us are making it successfully without the need of medication, and those people,I am truly envious of! (Lainie <3)
I hope you guys don't mind me posting, It just was sad to see you guys bickering when we are such great,caring folks here!
Soooo, why don't you guys all give each other a nice BIG HUG post and make-up???
(As I tell my kitty kids...'No Fighting!' hee hee)
