What IS paxilprogress?

There has been a great deal of confusion lately as to who paxilprogress is for, what is it for, and what is its purpose? I'd like to make the full definition clear to everyone, right from the horse's mouth. The following has always been available from our ABOUT PAGE, and it's a shame forum members haven't considered reviewing it before deciding to attack and exclude new visitors. Don't play telephone. Read and quote it when necessary.

What is paxilprogress?
Quote:
In short, paxilprogress is the most successful online community of people who's lives have been touched by Paxil. Through 4 years of commitment, visitors have found support, understanding, validation and a sense of belonging. Where family, friends and doctors have spent too much time talking, and not enough time listening, our ears were wide open.

We've been there. We know how important it is to truly listen. Our goal is not to tell you what to do, but show you where else to look for new answers, within yourself. Freedom is in you. We've been studying Paxil related news, research, and your real life stories for quite some time and continue to share all this knowledge with you. As you share with us, we return the favor.
That's it. The first sentence says it all and the rest is just an elaboration. Try to remember, and feel free to remind me when my own experience which is full of victories and successes without Paxil, seems too dominant. I get a little excited about helping people become more than they believe they are. I love it so much.

Repeat after me:

Darcy, could you make this a sticky so that we all can be reminded of it?

Re: What IS paxilprogress?

What is PaxilProgress...it's a mix between here and there, set in the ethers, yet so real people would come to blows if they were face-to-face.

It's a place to get information and to share it if you have any to share. And a place to discover things you never knew, plus some you never wanted to.

Most of all, it's a safe place, its most important role IMO, and should remain so.
