ID:200504.54 davidf Being from the uk it was a great find to log onto s4h and find such wonderful,caring people.I thought i was alone in my turmoil,but having read some of your stories and talked to a few of you i stand and salute you all,the struggles and the hardship you have gone through or are going through lie's in testament of the strengths you all have to have gone this far.My mothers favourite saying was 'i cried because i had no shoe's until i saw a man with no feet'.How apt that seems to me now,and as i struggle in the dark times of my illness,i log onto this site and the feeling of warmth and openness lightens up my darkness.Dee and Willy and all the administrators should feel so proud to have bought such a good thing into the hearts of all of us who suffer.I commend all of us for our strength,honesty and for contributing to this wonderful site Thank you

ID:200412.53 Gslady I found Support for Hope by accident. But it was the most precious accident I've ever had. The people here are friendly, caring, and great listeners. I've had some tough times but I always leave the chat feeling much better than when I came. I don't have support at home but I know that my chat home gives me the support I need. I have had depression all of my life. I sought help at my general doctors office. I was put on antidepressants but I still didn't feel right. But I trudged on for l0 years. Finally I decided one day that I didn't want to feel the way I felt any more. I called a psychiatrist and luckily I got an appointment that day. I was very lucky to get a great Christian psychiatrist on the very first try. My diagnosis is depression, bipolar, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and abuse. A lot to take at once. She also suggested a great Christian therapist who I also got lucky and got to see that afternoon. So began my journey to find a way to better way of handling things in my life. Its not an easy road. I've found out and discovered things that frankly sometimes I wish I didn't know but, those things have helped me grow stronger. So if your new at this site or trying to find out if it is right for you give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. You are not judged, ridiculed, made to feel stupid but, you are made welcome, you will find great listeners and people just like yourself who sometimes just need to chat. Gslady Thank you

ID:200410.52 jspradling Hello all, I came to this website to meet people that might help give advice for the mother of a son with Bipolar/Schizophrenic illness. I have made some good friends all over the world here. I have learned some great advice and hopefully have given some. My son is 20 years old and on his own after 2 hospital stays and some bad times. With the help of meds. he is doing better and with the help of this chat room so am I. This is the best chat room I have visited and look forward to talking with the members almost daily. My son has struggled for years and that means I have too, searching for the answers and advice. I have found that a positive attitude from his mom is the best I can offer and hopefully he will continue to have more ups than downs. I will be able to help him through the down times better now because I have support. You guys are great. Thanks members, jspradling Thank you

ID:200408.50 Caryle Dear Dee, I can't begin to express how much your web site, Support4Hope, has been helping me cope with my mental illness. The wealth of information and espcially the chat room has been so good for me. I have made many friends in the chat room from all over the world who are there to provide the support I need or just a place to get a laugh. Thank you so very much for you dedication and support. Keep up the good work! Caryle Thank you

ID:200408.49 BillS4H I have been coming to Support4Hope for for the supportive atmosphere for over a year now. It has been an eye opener in some ways, learning that I am not alone and that there are others who suffer the same way I do. I think that's been the best part of it, knowing I am not alone. I don't know where I would be without Support4Hope. it has become the anchor I needed for years. Just talking to others like myself gives me a feeling of peace and quiet, something I could not get before I found Support4Hope. I recommend it to anyone who suffers or supports a sufferer. It is a great site. Thank you

ID:200408.48 iscout Dear Dee, Just a note to let you know that i think the support4hope site is one of the most positive things in my life. When i discovered s4h in mid-June i never thought i would become a daily visitor to the Forum and the Chat. I unexpectedly found a truly good and supportive group of chat friends and my life is not quite so isolated because of this. I have checked out other mental health chats and forums, but i find that s4h is by far the safest, most comfortable and caring site that i have visited. I feel that the way you run the chat, with rules (and consequences, if the rules are not adhered to) does make it the safest place in cyberspace. The time, energy and caring that you and Willy put into s4h is truly commendable. Take care and be well. Sincerely, iscout Thank you

ID:200408.47 Lynnzie Dear Dee, I wanted to take this opportunity to write a letter of thanks to you for making Support4Hope available to myself and my husband. As you know he has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder for several years. As a newlywed I searched for a support group that could help me to understand his disorder, as well as help me to cope with him when he cycles. I was also looking to meet other spouses who have husbands or wives with mental disorders so that we could support each other. I searched locally for a group, none had been formed. I hit the net in search for a group and came upon several options. I entered a few groups to see how they were, and I continued to be disappointed because no one seemed real interested in hearing my story, or supporting me in my effort to understand Bipolar Disorder and all that entails. Most of the mental health chat groups had an agenda which left me feeling uncomfortable. Then I found Support4Hope. I entered your group a wee bit cynical because, at that point I figured all the online support groups were alike. I am glad I was wrong. I found immediate support among several people, including you, and your support staff. I felt very welcome upon entering S4H for the first time. That hasn't changed. I feel as thought I've found a home to talk when I need to talk, to cry when I need to cry, and to support others when theisupersedeupercede my own. Support4hope is also a place where we can laugh, which can warm our souls when some of us are having a tough day. Again, thank you for creating Support4hope for all of us. We owe you a debt of gratitude for you unselfish giving to others. Sincerely, Lynnzie Thank you

ID:200408.46 ReacherS4H This place was like an oasis to me when I discovered it during a time of crisis. You all gave hope, encouragement, and most importantly the wise counsel of others who've walked the same hard path that I was on. We do more than support each other here, we share insights, suggestions, ideas for therapies, information - all the things that help with healing. It's a privelege to be a part of something so good, thank you all. Reach Thank you

ID:200408.44 MagsS4H [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[Family]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]], I have thought long and hard how to say two simple words with more meaning in them than any others I have spoken, just saying thank you doesn't seem enough. S4H, the friends and family I have met here mean more to me then anything I ever dreamed possible. I have not only grown in my own mind and thoughts but also in that of extending family. S4H has given me back several things that I had thought were lost, my will to move forward, indepentant thinking without the fear of reprisals, the trust in others, the ability not only to look at myself and see flaws and errors but to also the determination to repair them. The love that I had buried deep within me is now showing more and more on my sleeve, which is a good thing because that means I am not afraid of taking a step and reaching out. Dee, Willy, and all those who I care so deeply for thank you from the bottom of my heart to the tip of my head. You are all the most wonderful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Love always, MagsMGR P.S. Don't let Dee kid any of you I am the one and only true innocent one she keeps snitching my halo!!! Thank you
