I go to all the message boards and find so many people that have the same feelings as me and have gone through the same things as me. Some of the things are those things that you just don't ever share with anyone and it feels so good to see others having those same feelings. Makes me know that I'm not crazy all the time...and I've met some neat people in the chatroom too...So glad that you are going to try it out. Love you....
