MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in need of peer support in dealing with issues of my childhood abuse. I was moving away from the painful issues and trying to find an uplifting group of people to help me transition to a thriver in my life. I found that here. I also found a group of peers with Fibromyalgia and found the same uplifting experience there. My computer crashed and it was a while before I found my way back, this time with issues related to Parkinson's Disease. I had tried a few other support sites before reminding myself of MDJ. On those, I never got a reply. I finally found my way back here and again found very supportive, caring and inspiring people who made me feel like I was 'back home'. Indeed I am." (ThereseML)

Today is my birthday!

I'm starting this diary because for the first time in my 45 years - I finally feel like I can deal with all the abuse and dysfunction of my life. Oh - it's going to be a journey! This site and these groups have been so helpful to me. The support and compassion is SO amazing. I'm thankful to everyone for sharing their lives (I don't feel so alone) and for the encouragement I have been given here. Love to you all!!! You will never know how much I need all of you.
