For me this forum is probably the closest thing to a "support group" that I have. There aren't any face to face meeting groups like this where I live (that I know of) so this is the only place where I feel like people can understand certain feelings that I have. In the proper doses I think it is therapeutic to hear from others like me and hopefully I can be encouraging as well.

Just as in a face to face support group, I wouldn't spend an entire day in a meeting so I try not to spend much more time here than I would in a group like that. Just an hour here and there works for me.
