For the Newbees

OK so i was looking at the post from Sarah. It occurred to me that Barbara use to have everyone's emails that we could make direct contact with other members if we asked her.

There have been members on this board that i completely identify with and many times where having direct contact or chat would have been so beneficial. Even though i didn't reach out. I know Barbara would arrange this if requested.

Well since there has been a change, i wondered if anyone still has an interest in providing a email list or make arrangements for one on one chat/email exchange? Especially with the Newcomers. For those who have been here and seem to have a clear concept of this hideous NPD it would be so beneficial for them to have someone they could mail direct or chat with. I know this is extending out the services beyond this forum but i listen to some of the post from new members and become so alarmed for them. I remember their thoughts like it was yesterday. It would be so nice to formulate a sponsorship program. Where if they had questions or such they could reach out directly, I guess kinda what Barbara did. Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions???

I agree we should not post

I agree we should not post our personal information on this board anywhere. Lisa has agreed to compile an email list for us and mail it to us directly. In order for someone to get the email list they will have to contact Lisa. They should provide their forum name and current email address. This should match what Lisa has on file for our accounts. This will verify we are a part of this board. I believe that is how Barbara did that. Correct me if i am wrong Lisa but she knew us by our forum name and email add. Then Lisa can send it to us directly.

oops

correction to the last post. She will send emails to the persons we would like to contact and have them contact us. Either way it is a source to reach out to each other. I am on board.

FYI, Just be careful when

FYI, Just be careful when you do this. On occasion there are interlopers and trolls who want to get to know you at your most vulnerable state to further abuse you. Be careful of anyone who takes it off the board and quickly (or even patiently) wants to know personal things about you...age, full name, city you live in, occupation, if you live alone, wants pictures, etc. All of that is irrelevant to supporting each other.

Me too, betty2020. My advice isn't great right now because I had a setback and need to climb out of my hole again. :)

Betty

I would be happy to help facilitate this. If you would like to chat with someone, you can e-mail me to let me know who you would like to provide your e-mail address to and I will do so. I'll send them an e-mail with your direct contact info.

that would be great Lisa, I

that would be great Lisa, I feel its important for the New people to feel that if they have a connection and would like to talk or email someone one on one that we are available. Should we use the email under contacts? lisalou2@gmail.com
