Looking for something but what?

[AppyRedman]

My personality system name is Appy, and it is nice to meet everyone.  I am new here but not new to online forums for mental health issues.  My interest in this site is the fact that it is dedicated to my actual diagnosis. Most sites have a lot of information about all kins of disorders, and it can be very distracting from my own needs.  I am here for awhile
     then I will disappear
          then I will return
                the cycle will continue...that is me taking part online. 

So, please don't try to get too close because when I disappear it is usually from a trigger and there is no warning.  I am just no more.  I have learned that one of the hardest things to do with severe trauma is to listen about other peoples' experience with not so nice people.  It is a pain trigger in me and those tend to cause isolation away from the world.

     The good news is that I am getting better.  I am strengthening against my disorder but still, beware of getting too used to me here.  I don't like to hurt peoples' feelings so just guard against the disappearance act that may come. Other than that, I am looking for people to talk to that I may be able to relate to and possibly build a connection, even if temporary, for the healing journey.

Hi and a warm welcome to Out of the Storm Appy 

We're used to people needing to do what they need to do to feel comfortable on the forum so please take your time and if you need to take a break of course do so. I personally found that over time I felt safer and safer to discuss things and even to talk about being triggered, just because everyone has been through the same or similar kinds of things and can relate. Your recovery path is as it needs to be for you, that's what we hope newcomers like yourself will understand and find their own way.

I hope you find you are able to fit the forum to your needs and perhaps as you go along let us help you with that if you feel okay doing so.
