MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

I'm sorry but I had to repost this with the correct title. My typing error soundd SO bad!! I'm SO SORRY!!!

Hi, I am still new to MDJ but I have joined other groups, bipolar II, sexual abuse. It was suggested that I join this group as well. I have been abused, physically, sexually, and emotionally. I really like that everyone has been kind and supportive but I guess I'm still trying to figure out how all of this works. I guess I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do to get past everything that has happened. I would much rather PM than post any details so PM me anytime. I will do general post and welcome any advice and friends. I hope this doesn't sound bad, I'm just still unsure of people in general until i get to know them and it's easier to get to know someone one on one.

I should probably add that I have not been diagnosed with PTSD I was just refered here by someone in another group. I'm not even sure exactly what it is or what the symptoms are but I will not judge anyone or think anyone is crazy. I'm in NO place to judge anyone, I'm the screwed up one. I'm just glad that there are others that might be in the same boat so I'm not alone.

Eagle, you probably do belong here as well. Welcome. There is nothing wrong with being a bit leary of this type of thing atr first. Most of us were. Please feel free to post anytime or pm me anytime.

Thanks HiddenButterfly. I posted some things on other posts and after a while I had to go back and edit them and just delete everything. I couldn't stand the thought of all these people I don't know reading such personal things. I will some general things but I can't bring myself to let people in without knowing them. Once I do know them I will tell you anything you want to know. I'm like this in person too. I always say that I don't like people until I get to know them but i don't want to talk to anyone unless I know them. That makes it really hard to make friends.

Welcome to the group! You can feel at home here, whenever you're ready and not worry about anybody judging you. You'll find a family here if that's what you're looking for, we look out for one another as best we can, so welcome again! You can definitely PM me anytime, I don't mind one bit and I'm like you...I don't like people until I get to know them and you're right, it does make it hard.
