AvgJoeDoe Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I dont know if a thread like this has been posted but well here it goes. For me it has helped me alot to read everyones stories. It makes me feel good when someone says" Thank you" and has boosted my confidence on moving on. Its been some though times but i believe that nothing is lost just another chapter of life. So in short it has helped me alot feel better about myself!
dfreeman Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 LS has made me feel better about myself, but more importantly it inspired me and kept a lot of the crap I write on here from making it to my ex's eyes/ears. When I first came on here, everyone kept pushing people in my situation to go to the gym and get out with friends - so I did just that. I lost 20 pounds and have met two women in the process. If I didn't come here, I can almost guarantee that I would have tried to get back with my ex (with whom I have absolutely NO business ever being with again), or at the very least, would have drove her nuts trying to get some of the answers I found on here. I know I probably bore some of the readers with my long and self-absorbed posts, but because of this, I don't bore my friends. Everyone on here knows the score and knows how much they are helping people like us out (as we help others down the line). Also, I never really understood what NC was all about and how it could pay dividends for me as a person before LS.
allieapplesauce Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 yeah this place has helped me too....i feel like i am rather obsessed over how anxious i get over this dating thing how i dont know what's going on.and i am usually very laid back....so it helps to get input and see other ppl are just like me so its somewhat normal....it calms me down for moments at a time at least....to get it out on paper and get some feedback and give feedback to others...sometimes you just need a second pair of eyes........
City_girl Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 me too, last time round I emailed my ex and told him how I felt, never ever got a reply tho I poured my heart out. He did persue me in a take it or leave it fashion. This time round I had the strenght to write here and tell people how he was with me, cold , distant and frankly not bothered if he saw me or not. Well I saw him for three days last week and this site gave me the strength to respond in my interest when he ignored my text whilst off for yet another weekend without me. I have casually given him the brush off whilst posting here about how sad it all made me. At least I left with my dignity this time. I am very grateful to have found this site.
DogMetal Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 thats very good to hear. I hope it helps me when i am ready
carhill Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 LS has helped me clarify a lot of issues and augmented therapy IRL. It's been a great, if sometimes harsh (I need that) mirror. So happy I stumbled across it one sick day last month.... I love to write, so doing so always makes me feel better
