CrazyRedhead Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I know this post would be more fitting for a blog, but since I have never started a blog since I've been a member, I hope it's okay with the mods to post it here. I've been here at CB for 6 years, but how do I begin to say what each of you mean to me?.....I want to thank everyone here who has helped and supported me throughout the years.....You have all helped me, to be honest......This was a place where my struggles were understood, and my voice was heard. I have met and talked to wonderful people here....I have seen some people make progress, and I felt so happy for them. My world was very small before I found CB, and CB expanded my world, and made me a better person....I still struggle very much, daily, with my mental illnesses.....Perhaps I will always have these struggles, but thanks to CB, I still have hope.....Hope is very important to me, because, many times, it's all I have. Great sadness came over me when I found out that CB was going to soon be turning off it's lights--a sadness so deep I can't explain it......CB is like a lighthouse to me, shining through the darkness.......Everyone here is like family to me--and in some ways, so much more than family, because my biological family doesn't understand quite so well as you all have. I will miss everyone here so much.....You are all my beloved friends....I have tried to help other members when I could, and I hope I have helped, even in some small way. Above all, I wish peace, comfort, beauty, hope, joy, and love for everyone here on CB.......Thank you for everything... If anyone wishes to stay in touch with me, please send me a private message to exchange contact info....This invitation is open to everyone here......I care so much for you all, my dear friends.

coraline Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 You have always been encouraging and helpful to me and I appeciate it. I too am quite broken up about no longer having this community. Everyone means a lot to me. This was a place of hope and understanding. Thank you for everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeschmee Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 It is quite something to adjust to.... You have been so very kind and uplifting to me @CrazyRedhead at so many different times.

DogMan Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I joined CB when Jarrod still owned it. This place migrated from a smaller community which was phpbb software or something. And I think that I joined that in 2003 looking for if risperidone interacted with viagra I was mostly in the psychosis boards at first. Which at the time were separated into sz, sza etc not combined like now Then ventured to You're own personal Springer Show. Which was precursor to the blogs Private blogs only for years. Which is probably why this place slowly died. Hiatus of a few years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
