MDJunction to me

mabri"When I was diagnosed about 18 months ago with fibromyalgia, I didn't know where to turn. I got on my computer and looked for a support group where I could talk to other people with the same disease and get some help...Information, suggestions, mostly just what I can do now that I have this.....disorder/disease/syndrome...I didn't even know what to call it. I found MDJ, and yes, there was a support group for fibro. I started a post, and figured I would never get an answer. However, very quickly I was welcomed in, and became really involved in the group. I received help, support, friendship and the feeling of being truly cared about by these strangers who had become like family to me. Now, I have been here for about a year and a half...I have become a group leader, and love every minute of it. It is so wonderful to be able to help others. I still receive help and answers from the members in this group. The fibromyalgia is where I go to help, support, listen, care and even laugh. I don't know what I would do without this group."

I've found a lot of support on MD Junction in general- belong to several support group forums. I don't do a lot of activity in this group honestly- think I'm still a little unwilling to deal with my eating disorder. But, yes... I have found much support here and I wish you the same. Give us a try- I've learned a lot from so many of the members here. Take care and Welcome!

This is my first venture into online support for bulimia too, so I can't speak for this specifically. But I was in an online support group for survivors of sexual abuse for several years, and it made a *huge* difference in my life. It helped me move past some feelings I never thought I would be able to deal with. I'm not expecting miracles with my bulimia, but just having people to be open and honest with about what I'm experiencing - people who have also lived it - makes the burden feel a little lighter already.

I have been a member since last December and it has helped me because none of my friends know and this way I don't feel alone. Also, I have learnt to take responsibility for my own behaviours too. I find t helps to share when I need to.
