I am new to this site and after such a long time struggling and not fitting in, I thought I had found a place where I do fit in and can be me. (Which is a big deal). I am struggling to deal with how being misdiagnosed for many years has left me and felt this was a safe space to ask questions and relate to others.
I am unfortunately a unicorns and rainbows girl, I hate toxicity and arguments and do anything to avoid them. The arguments I have been seeing on here in my short time, are these regular or is it just a blip? Sorry to sound wet or judgey but I need to know, as someone just setting off on this new journey of discovery I need to feel like I am in a healthy space here.
Makes me sad to think I may have to leave here and have nowhere to go for advice. Anyway those of you who have given me advice or comments thank you it has been greatly appreciated. Please do not be too mean to me in the comments, I am sorry I feel this way. I wont read them and will come back in a week and see how things are on the forum.

Please stay - the sort of issues you have seen here will happen on any discussion site once in a while when a handful of people with strongly held views try to fight for their viewpoint to be seen as right rather than just accepting that they are different.
There is a lot of good stuff here and many wonderful posters so leaving would be like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
It will cool down but in the meantime just avoid reading the posts that get heated and go back to the nice ones.
I did have a laugh about the rainbows and unicorns comment as I had just seen the Squaty Potty commercial ( warning, may be seen as a bit rude but is an actual product. Contains references to going to the toilet. It had me in stiches ).
