Shy Guy Intro + Site Help

Posted by Elimino Pete on March 17, 2009, at 19:29:45

Greetings,

I am new here of course, and quite shy about this sort of thing. I hope to push myself to share and care with you. Dr. Bob's boards were highly recommended and after browsing a bit, I see why.

I have a password manager that makes it easier to log on when I go to the site instead of waiting until I post. I am not the most computer literate, but thought I'd at least find the log-on link or page! Okay, I give up. Will one of you kindly take pity on the awkward freshman here and draw me a picture?

Thanks...and Cheers!

Hi - Welcome,

Sorry for the time it took for you to get a reply.

The Newbies Board isn't the most highly frequented.

For 'how do things work' type question, I'd highly recommend the "Administration" board. There are people who can answer your questions & give you wonderful, clear, easy to follow help!

As to general 'sharing', I like the Social board & the Psychology board is very caring especially about therapy type stuff.

I hope you feel comfortable enough to try some of those suggestions. I like it that you said right off that you were shy, etc. It lets people know.

:-) Kath

Thanks, Kath, for the warm welcome. I've already done some posting on the medication board and have gotten some friendly, caring and helpful responses. As much as any medication advice, my needs involve giving compassion to others who also are oppressed, and getting some feedback as to whether I'm worthy of validation (self-esteem issues are paramount). My therapist claims to believe strongly that there is something quite special in the depths that I yearn to let out, but that I am somehow not yet able to allow it. Sometimes I believe him and sometimes I think he is blowing smoke. If he's right, maybe this will be part of the path. I appreciate your advice and will seek out these boards as I am able.

Hi again,

Glad you've made a positive connection.

From what you've described re your therapist etc, I suspect you'd find the Psychology Board a nice 'fit' for you.
