The Forum: I want this Forum to be a wonderful means of support and a place for you to go to not feel alone with vaginismus and to know that you have people who do “get it” and want to be there for you. There has recently been some great posts on ways to de-stress that could be so helpful while going through this. For me personally, while having vaginismus, I felt a great coping mechanism to help me to feel better was to belong to a yahoo forum on vaginismus (the only one that existed at the time). I felt less isolated with this even though I never once posted. I still would read the posts and it somehow helped me to learn more about the condition and eventually led me to finding treatment. Also, while trying to conceive, I, again, found an awesome Forum full of success stories of women who were successful in conceiving using the at-home insemination method as we weren’t having success in getting pregnant the traditional way. I, again, never posted but learned so much from reading the success stories and found so much inspiration in them. If you are reading this right now and have never ever posted, please know that you are still such an important part of the Forum and we are just as much here for you as anyone who does post. It is truly a wonderful community of support. What is a coping mechanism that has worked for you while going through vaginismus?
