I was touched while reading XVbeast's post about anti depressants . Not because his story was so poignant, but because of all the other stories that always come out in the replies describing similar experiences . Ive seen it so many times here , for relationship trouble, ethical dillemas, tragic loss , and past demons .

No matter what there is always someone who can relate, who has been down the same road . And during troubled times I dont care what anyone says, hearing you are not alone makes a world of difference.

In so many ways, as unique as each one of us is, I feel to a certain degree we are all cut from similar cloth. The posts here carry a great significance, and although much is just kidding around, a lot is straight forward advice , Id venture a guess that a tremendous amount impact others in a greater way than many would think.

So to those of you who share with no shame or embarrasment, I applaud you and remind you of how helpful your stories are . To anyone looking for support, please dont be shy chances are several people here have fought the same battle.

Whether its a cycle gone horribly wrong, or a relationship in the shitter, there is help, comradery, and freedom from being judged. Isnt that just an incredible system of support ?
