[Petal]

Good morning folks! I'm up early for once, going to go out walking when it gets bright.
Today @Violette and @Chipetele and @betteroffunknown will be making breakfast! Have the fire extinguisher handy J/K!!!

What' on offer guys?

Today I would like to ask what about SF has helped you the most?

@Rockclimbinggirl @na-taya @AlexiMarie7 @Butterfly @moxman @Unknown_111 @whatamigoingtodo @outlander

For me it is sharing my thoughts without judgement and replies showing respect and dignity. I would be absolutely lost without this forum. Thank you SF and thanks for all the support throughout the years, Kudos to you!!

Have a wonderful day, all of you (huuuugs)

 

[AlexiMarie7]

For me it's been 'meeting' people I now care about; having a place of solace in my lowest lows, and the reminder that everyone is facing a battle of their own and that a little kindness (and respect--even in disagreeing) can go a long way.

 

[Jace]

I have been a long time lurker with only a few posts spanning multiple years. However, what I enjoy most is knowing that I am not alone. I am able to acknowledge that this community will be here when I feel lonely.

 

[DoodlingStars]

For me it's knowing I'm not alone, and that I can seek support without judgment here from everyone else unlike in real life. I've also come to meet some people I really care about, which helps me to feel less of a lurker than I used to be on other forums. I feel like I can actually talk to the people here, which is why I always have the SF tab on hand in my internet browser, so that I don't feel the constant sting of loneliness as much.

Can't wait for breakfast, I'll bring the fire extinguisher! :p

 

[na-taya]

SF has helped me in so many different way i can not even think of just one.
every time i have struggled i have had support and love in so many different ways

its also nice to see that their in kindness in other even if they are struggling them self because those people seem to be hard to find in real life.

take care all xxxxxx

Hi all. The forum had saved my life and that's the only reason I give back everyday as it's the right thing to do. Single we might suffer but UNITED we can conquer and overcome our fears.

Respect to every single on this forum. Conquer you fears and weaknesses to live YOUR LIFE as best YOU can.

 

[Violette]

Okay brekky is... scrambled eggs with feta, chives and bacon cubes. Toast nd blackberry jam. Cappucino. (for me not Vaughn... he has OJ)

SF hs shown me that i can talk to some people nd that my feelings r valid nd that there are people willing to help nd understand.

Thank u Lynn for being there and everyone who has listened.

I have also learnt to becareful who I talk to, not everyone can understand

 

[Acy]

Good morning! So glad the Café is open already...need my coffee today!

SF has given me validation and support from a community of good people. I have also found that offering help and encouragement to others really emphasizes that I can do that for myself as well. I've grown more hopeful and confident.

 

[Vanquished]

Alright, first things first - breakfast. Think today we'll make it a buffet being as everyone may encourage something different. On the menu from me will be my all time favorite - breakfast burritos which consist of: eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage (whichever you prefer), and veggies all wrapped in a nice big tortilla. Then all that being topped off with a little green chili and cheese. To the side there's salsa and sour cream just in case someone would like some. (I'm full just saying all that. ha)

I appreciate SF for the simple fact it offers a bit more freedom to share when times get really low, and support at such times. I like the fact that it comes from ones who understand, and not someone just saying they do. I hate when people say they do, but haven't walked the walk. I also appreciate that there's just as much encouragement when things are going better.

 

[Rockclimbinggirl]

For me it is knowing that I am not alone. SF is 24/7 so knowing that there is always someone online helps a lot too.

It also gives me the chance to help others, and I find that helps me.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

There are people here who have helped me when I needed it, and I thank them for that. Now it is going the opposite way, all my fault but I don't really worry about things too much anymore.

 

[cymbele]

SF gives me a safe place to talk and vent when the feelings are so strong. I feel like I don't give back enough because when I am here I can barely take care of myself. But I will.

 

[Butterfly]

I owe SF my life really. I have been through an awful lot over the years and SF has always been there for me when no one else was. I have been through some very dark times and my mind has been in some very dark places. I can come here and talk without fear of being judged. I also enjoy the company when I go into chat, even if I don't speak much just being in the chat room is very comforting.

 

[Brian777]

Today I would like to ask what about SF has helped you the most?

It's the people, people who really "understand" what depression and anxiety feel like. Makes me feel less alone, I'll sometimes just sit in the chatroom and watch the conversation, even if I don't comment just being there with others helps the loneliness. People I've come to think of as friends or more like family and care about.
Thank you everyone for being here
