Welcome! It is quite easy. You post what is concerning you and we answer and talk back and forth. It helps because you find that you are not alone in your worries. That others feel the same way you do.

You can also write in your journals and others might read them. I have found that is where I can get my true thoughts out and my friends can read them.

Amen to what Jules said.

Also, you will want to use your journal to just write out your random, or organized thoughts.

Find those with similar interests or "issues" and make friends with them.

You can send a hug, flowers, high five to someone you think needs them, or if you just want to say thanks for being their.

this website has a chat too. If you are in real need and a friend in your friends list is online, you chat with them. Just put your mouse over their icon in your friends listing and you will see the option to chat.

Some will be able to dive right in and some will like to sit back and listen for awhile. Pick and choose what to do and when to help themselves.

Either way, when you are ready and comfortable enough to tell your story, you can post it here or to your journal.

You will see a great amount of support when you do.

I hope this helps.

Did you want to talk?

This place is helping me because I've found some selfless friends who are always willing to put their own troubles aside to help someone else, no matter how well they know me. I can also be honest with everyone because if they saw me walking down the street they probably wouldn't recognise me so there's no self conciousness.

Finally, if I feel I don't want to talk or I am getting upset/angry I can walk away at any point.
