Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

I was just thinking about it this morning and I wanted to share. Even though we all never met, i talk about u in daily conversations with family as friends....as if we met and our "Friends". Then I thought about it...and we are all "friends" . Maybe online, but we offer support, we understand what each other are going through, we cheer each other up.



I was sharing with my mom the other day about stress when TTC.... Which she was not understanding and asked " why do you get so stressed?". I was trying to explain about this board and how all women feel this way." I often in conversation reference what everyone who goes through m/c or just TTC go through. Sometimes I will share all of our experiences-( anonymously) and what one is feeling...b/c it often is what I am going through. It helps me share with my family/friends that it's not just me but a whole group of women who feel so similiar
& can relate.

My husband always ask what are you looking up now on the computer??...(since i stare at it way too often). I will say "LIfamilies"....and he knows to say "oh, your new friends". Which is true- He sees me laugh, cry, and smile, as I read or comment on each of your stories.

So I just wanted to say "THANKS" to all of my online friends!!! And let you know It is so great to have you all for support.

Thanks to my new friends!!!

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

I couldn't agree more! There's no reason that "friendship" should only exist when you are TOGETHER. What we all share with each other is in fact a friendship, whether we've 'met' in real life or not. To me, a friend is somebody who you care about and want help- especially during times that they most need it. I am so incredibly thankful for all of the girls on this board. When I first experienced my m/c I was so hurt and sad and lost, and I'd fallen into this immediate depression. I had nobody to go to because nobody really understood the pain. And then I came on here and was just so incredibly touched by the encouragement and love that I immediately received. I do believe that all of you girls are the ones who got me through one of the toughest times of my life. And for that I also do consider you FRIENDS. Not just some girls i chat with in an online forum.

Thanks for sharing this!!

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

Awesome post Rachel I definitely consider you girls friends despite the fact that we've never met in person. Like C said, I guess it depends on how you define friendship. To me, a friend is someone I care about, someone I can b!tch to and they'll listen to me, someone who can help me see the good things through the bad, and someone who I'd do the same for. During the past few months, you girls have definitely helped me, and each other see the good through these rough times, so I definitely consider you all friends

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

Thank you so much for this post. I completely agree. It is comforting to know there are other people out there who went through a similar experience, and who will understand... so few of the people I know "in real life" have.... it is nice to know I can come here and vent a little and people who have been there will provide some comfort or sage advice.

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

Aww love you girls

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

This board and the ladies on it have definitly been a God-send!

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

awww what a great post! I totally agree that we are all friensd. Just like I said on another post...maybe we were all meant to "meet" eachother. I really think we should set something up and get together.

I have one friend I talk to my TTC stress about in person and other than that no one gets it and either worries that I'm crazy or tells me "just relax" You guys know exactly how I am feeling and it feels good to know you are here.

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

i could not agree more! these boards and you ladies are the best!

Re: Thanks!!! You girls are all Great!!!

I agree also! I love how everyone understands what we are all going through... best of luck to everyone!
