I know I've done this thread before, but since then we have had some new members. What have you learned since you have joined this site? Is there anything in particular you would like to learn that you haven't yet? Smile

I have learned that the people are REALLY nice here. I've had no conflict with anyone. No one's been mean to me and they have all been welcoming and supporting.

I also learned that Admin is very nice as well. Very helpful as to the needs of the members. There are some sites out there that trying to talk to Admin will get you absolutely nowhere because no response comes from them. On those sites, it's as if they do not exsist.

Anything I would like to see??? At this very moment, I just got up a few minutes ago (haven't had my hot tea yet ) I can't think of anything.

I have learned that I am not alone in this. There are other people out there that feel the same way I do. I have also learned that you can be agoraphobic without being completely homebound; as I once believed. I also learned that there are people out there that not only understand, but support, and care.

I would like to see more people posting again.

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

See Silly how different people can be? I learned NOTHING! lol Actually, the more I learn the less I know. Seriously, I have learned I am not alone. I have learned that agoraphobia happens to all sorts of people.

I've also learned that I'm not alone in this and that people can be agoraphobic and still go out. Also that I'm stronger than I thought and can do more than I thought possible. And that there are people out there who understand and are genuinely kind.
