THIS IS THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP. Abrasive and unkind comments are not welcome here.


You all have been a life-saver during my drug-withdrawal hell. Only 5 more days to go.

If I had tried to talk about this in GD or even in the Lounge, it would have gone extremely poorly, with a lot of "hey you're a MAN, grow some balls" kind of talk and other assorted ignorance.

Thank you again everyone. I will do my best to be here for you.

1. I have the highest reverence for mental health support.

I had a lot of work to do by myself and had some therapy. I survived and I promise to help anyone else.

We have some of the very best people in all of DU here. We'll try to be here for you also

3. Steve, with me, every day is practice to be better than I got.

Emphasis: practice, sometimes not exactly getting it right, but practice.

4. Only a few more days now!

I'm personally in a pretty good place these days and I feel grateful for it every day. This group (and my Cancer Support group) has been so supportive when I needed it.
You are going to get there too!

5. I am certainly here for you, my dear Steve!

As long as I am a member of DU, and I plan to be here till they carry me out, I will be here for you.

[Tobin S.]

6. You're welcome, Steve.

I'm not around much now days, but when I'm here I always check in with this group to see how everybody is doing. To me, this group exemplifies how human beings should treat each other: with compassion and support.
