The Support Group Meme

 

Per Wikipedia:

In a support group, members provide each other with various types of help, usually nonprofessional and nonmaterial, for a particular shared, usually burdensome, characteristic. The help may take the form of providing and evaluating relevant information, relating personal experiences, listening to and accepting others' experiences, providing sympathetic understanding and establishing social networks. A support group may also work to inform the public or engage in advocacy.


And now you know. And knowing's half the battle.

  • Post with a character.

  • Unlike most memes, you'd probably be better off by providing a general theme for people to respond to. You know, have your subject or post read "People who got turned into animals in their respective games" or "Time travelers and keeping the space/time continuum intact."

  • Respond to other people and support them through their trials and tribulations.

  • NOTE: While you're welcome to post whatever the hell you want, if you delve into triggery whatnot (i.e. abuse, suicide, things which tend to actually evoke real life support groups and therapy) please label your posts with a nice and blatant warning so someone who was looking for Time Travelers Anonymous doesn't accidentally stumble into your suicide thread instead.

[A start it is.]

The part one never expects is how painful it can be to remember what was lost. Too stay oblivious would be peaceful, if debilitating.

(Victor swallows.)

Yes, perhaps. . .but the idea of being someone's mindless toy s-scares me a lot more.
queensbane: (Determination)

[Her fist tightens just slightly, and her calm expression stretches into a grimace.] Yes. Toy would quite be the word. Those were his intentions for me.

(Victor nods, his face darkening.) His intentions for me too. Bastard thought of everyone as his possessions. . .
