I would like to take a couple of minutes to say thank you to all the TP contributors.
I am fairly new to Talking Point and did make an initial post a couple of weeks ago (out of pure desperation) entitled "I am so depressed" to which immediately cheered me up with some very quick replies welcoming me to this forum with some helpful advice and information.
When my wife (frontotemporal dementia sufferer) has gone to bed I sit here for a couple of hours (or more) each and every night reading scores and scores of messages, sometimes I get mad, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I get emotional but I can honestly say that over the past couple of weeks after reading hundreds of posts and replies I am actually starting to feel much better in myself.
I am learning that there is kindness out there, in all shapes and forms, something I never thought existed or even imagined.
No matter how bad I feel there are hundreds more folk going through a worse pain than I am.
I am not big on forums, never have been, but TP has helped me adjust my way of thinking with little contact just by simply setting aside a couple of hours each evening with a cup of coffee just reading, nothing more, nothing less, just reading.
So thank you every one, TP is really my savior
