This is to everyone on here, to pople that have helped each othe and those new to the forum:

Thank you for all the support that you've given me, everyone should feel proud of themselves for helping each other. Tonights been a rough night within my family, my parents have been arguing and finally decided tonight they are going to get a divorce after 11 years of arguing and fighting. I've sat here for the past hour crying, thinking about everything thats been happening over the past few years of my life, i've relised theres been some really bad times where i couldn't cope and it came to the point of attempting suicide which was a very horrible experience, but theres been so many good times i've had with my friends and with my mum. I've relised that i have a life, i can do something with it, even though this phobia takes over most of it, i need to go out and do stuff with it. Its been since i joined this forum i've understood things a lot clearer and thats why im thanking everyone on here that has helped me. You are all great! and should all be proud of yourselves for doing what you do, coming on here and talking to others and helping them out. Its easter tomorrow and i know that its going to be a tough day as my family won't speak to each other from whats been happening tonight, so im going out hopefully with my friends, people who i love and care for, even though i'll always love my family no matter what, but not everything in life is going to be perfect. I hope everyone on this forum has a really nice easter, that they can get through the day and have a really nice time. This pohobia is a trouble to live with, and we all know that, but we're here for each other and i'll always be here if anyone needs to talk about anything. Have a lovely easter day, and make sure you eat some chocolate or even a hot cross bun to celebrate and i hope you and all your familys are well and safe. Take care everyone.
