For some of us, helping others takes our mind off our own concerns and allows us to give something back to the community at the same time. I am grateful for the support I have received. I hope you continue to be uplifted as I have been.

It looks like an interesting site. I sense the potential for it to be meaningful or helpful in some way, so I idly consider how it could be good, what could I do to make anything better? And then I end up typing something and pressing “send reply”.

I found the site in the exact same way. I was amazed at the openness here. I don’t come here a lot but when I’m in trouble and stuck with no one else to turn to I come here and it always helps a bit.

:) It is a good place to vent and ask difficult questions with the possibility of getting a non-S-h-i-t-t-y (honest) answer.
