The purpose of this community is for those who need help to get support from those who’ve been there. If you, your family, or friend needs help, you’ve definitely come to the right place. Please don’t be shy about reaching out to the members as a group, or to one individual member whose condition is similar to yours. Our community is amazing, and you’ll find the support you’ve been looking for here. To all our new members, we’d like to extend our warmest welcome!
