What our community is saying:
““Giving my peers the kind of support that helped me so much when I desperately needed it, helps me recognize that getting to this point in my recovery was all worth the hard work I put into it.””
““Going to these meetings made me feel more normal. I didn’t feel so alone anymore. Listening to what people had to say made me realize that there is hope. And I can get better. Emotions Matter saved me and helped me become the Me that I am today, thank you.””
““Free to be me with BPD!
A chance to meet like-minded people.”
