appreciation for this place [View all]

This is the Mental Health Support Group. Nasty, unkind, uncalled-for and insensitive remarks are not welcome here.

Over the months, I've really come to value this place. It's truly the only place on DU where you are pretty much guaranteed to have your feelings respected. Now, if you have an "emotional skin" like a rhinoceros, that's not an issue really and you can respond with a sarcastic and witty rejoinder.

My unsolicited advice to lurkers is, don't bother opening up with anything precious to you, because someone (or more than one) will come along to take a poke at it. I will no longer open up on DU unless it's in here. Not worth the aggravation.

All the best to everyone, especially the regulars. Hope all are doing well.
