wow everyone, that first meeting was something else! I gotta say, I was a bit hesitant logging in tonight, like, new people new group, but you all just blew me away with your honesty and strength. it's such a relief to be somewhere I don't have to explain myself, where everyone just gets it. hearing some of your stories really hit home for me. it's a powerful reminder that we're not alone in this journey. I feel so much more hopeful after tonight, and just super grateful to be part of this community. looking forward to connecting more with all of you wonderful folks!
