Hey New People

Hey, if youre new here, and youre having a hard time, it can be confusing what to do on here. What Ive found best to do if youre deep down in it (for me personally anyway), is to go to the group chat. Start there; you may find people mostly talking off-topic. But there will likely be someone who will pop up in there singing *your* song. You can start an individual conversation with them, or do the #2 thing thats worked best for me (maybe the best option to start)—click on chat w/ a listener or therapist. Therapist will cost (idk how much); listener is free. I chose listener. Somehow, it really does help just to *tell someone* about it. Or tell 15 people about it! Trumpeting my pain to multiple listeners on here has taken some of the edge off for sure. And u know what? It reminds you that youre *not alone* and youre not *too old, too far gone, or too whatever* to be fixed. (Or at least helped yaknowwhatimean—we strugglers must look for the positives where we can). And THAT—is a good start. Welcome.
