Hi vvill, Hi all,
Welcome, I am intrigued also to see such open awareness in someone so young, I am 70 this year, and from the UK now living in California.
Not wanting to repeat what others have said, I offer these ideas how sharing in fact helps, you said: “Where would I do this and how does sharing the story lead to further help and guidance?”
The concepts of all self help groups are based on the sharing of ideas. Indeed the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous was the start of many self help groups based on the twelve step program.
“You are not alone” therapy combined with friendship and love for other beings has helped millions. The sharing and receiving of problems in particular on a website such as this provides an anonymous forum where you are more likely to say what you feel in comfort.
Hearing opposing opinions is paramount to making a choice to your personal recovery. Our TMS shields are never the same for each of us and neither are the cures.
In addition the action of creating a “post”, in effect re affirms what your own views really are, as feedback on what you have said changes your view point little by little.
From the year 2000 to 2011 I was alone and then discovered forums, I recently moved from the TMS Help under my same name. Don’t be alone join us.
