Thank you...very much. Patty, thanks for always having some encouraging word for me, you've been there a lot. I hope all goes well for you...I'm not sure what retiring means? Will you all still be on? Best to you.

You guys are the most word typying, wisdom spewing, action taking, decision making, thought provoking, class acting, Welcome sign toting, and dedicated to healinging bunch of people I have ever seen! When I think of how this message board has grown and developed, your the reasons why. Great job guys, and you better not go anywhere, cause Ill track you down and gut you like a fish. Only after I hug and kiss all over ya for a while, except for Thomas, and Gerold, in your case, we will just shake hands, then as you turn to walk away, Ill give you a noogie!

Thanks so much you guys. You made me feel welcome and supported at a time when I had none. It means so much to share my experiences and feelings here and to validate them as well which has reassured me that I am not losing my mind. All the best to all of you.

Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to help all of us this summer! You have truly made a difference. This board has been a lifesaver, and your welcoming efforts have been a big part of it for all of us. Thank you again!

This glowing thank you came in by email... I am really new to this so don't know how to send a note to them, can I ask that you pass this along for me?
I have been overwhelmed by the support shown at BPDfamily and the welcoming ambassadors are a huge part of that. I watch L1 and am amazed at how the WAs pick up a newbie and never leave them to feel as alone as we do when we come here. The wisdom that you all have and share is really quite unbelieveable. You really make a difference. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. gc
I think we all have been amazed!

Thank you so so much for all your support, empathy, openess, dedication .. i could go on endless. I am very much impressed by this community, the way its set up and the people like you that are involved. Without this board I dont know where I would have been right now. Nowhere in my life did I find specific information and advice on how to handle and cope with leaving a BPD. SO many similar 'stories' on this board made my own 'story' a little bit more predictable and a little bit less terrifying. I am doing better and better each day. Thank you, you are all in my

I have been snowed under with work for the last few days so I apologize for the tardy response. I would like to add my deep appreciation to that of others by saying you people are awesome and must be on your computers 24/7! I was stunned by the warmth and empathy that I greeted me when I first posted on BPDfamily.com which actually helped me through a very dark patch. I don't know who you are and where you are but thank you for being there. Some of the stories and posts I have read on this web site have turned my life around in the last few days, the Ambassadors are a very special group of people.

I don't know where to start...
It's so difficult at the beginning of the beginning of your post-BPD life. I can't thank you all enough for helping me navigate my way through this, telling me what is really happening to me, and last, but not least, the advice to get me through it. You have truly been a Godsend.
God bless you all. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed.

Thanks for your time and efforts. This reminds me of an old story of a small country school where one kid was asked to help another practice for the spelling bee in the big city school. It turned out that this kid worked and worked at helping the other kid. Guess who won the spelling bee? Yep, the kid who tutored! You all have gained immense experience by helping tutor the new ones and make them feel at home. You have given AND received.
