Cazcat shares a personal anecdote to create a supportive atmosphere, encouraging CaringHolly to share freely without judgment. CaringHolly specifically asks for help understanding the forum's functionality. Catsmother responds by explaining how to navigate the main page, access different sections like depression and anxiety, post replies, and start new topics.

Put your lips together and whistle..... If you like, some like it hot. However, just open a page and let rip, you wont be judged.

I always say just open up and spill everything as people don't know you.... My story is bizarre so don't worry. Many here thing I'm a drug lord and been in a gun battle (maybe not) or actually the truth I'm just a stupid ignorant person who has learnt a vital lesson. Each of us have their own story so feel free.

You can PM me if you wish, but everyone here is fair dinkum.
