I keep coming across threads that say this site is making them worse and im a bit confused as to why? maybe because i havent realized it yet or maybe because i just dont see it that way. I think this site is great and supportive. we are all on different levels with our fight against this phobiaand that could make a difference but all in all , i think this site has helped me since i joined it, i like being able to relate to people like me , considering this is the first time in my life i have ever heard of others that suffer from the same thing but i dunno i think so far its good ... maybe my thoughts will change with time because i did notice someone mentioned " yeah it helps the new members but not the ones who have been on for a while" but i guess we will see.
