Why do you create this site?
|
I am one of you. I've been through difficult times, and I want to share my experiences with you and let you know that,
- It's okay that you're not feeling okay, - There are people here who can help you. - Weak and vulnerable we may be sometimes, we have the ability to help ourselves. - We can make it through. |
You are not a professional counsellor. Why should I check your site?
|
I believe we learn from each other's experiences, if not fully, we will always gain some understanding of certain issues.
