I struggle with issues with my mom. She abused me, physically and mentally, and I still struggle with it today. She was and still is an alcoholic and an abuser of prescription narcotics. Here recently, she’s attempted suicide. What brought you here? | |

2371 QA Reputation65 | jeffory said 10 years, 5 months ago: @Alayna, I can’t imagine not relying on family, that seems really hard.  I got uber depressed, wanting to off myself after a series of nasty events and self-pity. Got in a bad rutt of poor sleeping/eating, lost 25% of my body weight in a couple months (I was obese, so it’s cool). Got a bit of help from here, met some nice people but just sort of came to the realisation that I needed to grow up. Eventually worked through it on my own, used the body weight as motivation to get fit and started training for a marathon, haha. Stayed to try my best to help others.  | |

212 QA Reputation0 | Iodine said 10 years, 5 months ago: Most likely depression, I’m fortunate for me it’s never a severe case. I came here because It seemed like a friendlier social environment compared to other sights such as Reddit. It might sound a little cruel, but I get a little relief when reading about others in a similar position. | |

Came here, signed up and started answering questions and using this website as a place to vent when others are asleep or I don’t want to hassle others. | |

462 QA Reputation93 | NightowlNinjabear :) said 10 years, 5 months ago: I came here to also vent and try to help others. I deal with anxiety, bipolar, and depression. This past year has been really hard on me. I found this on pintrest and thought I take a look and joined and I so far like it. It seems like a good place to go when I feel like I can go no other place. I am a bit estranged with my family since my mothers passing..and the only people I am ever around is my husband and my 5 month old. My husband tends to cause a great deal of stress and tends to make me have more bipolar breakdowns than anything else. | |

718 QA Reputation20 | Noel said 10 years, 5 months ago: I have self-image and trust issues. I don’t have anyone to talk to. It’s weird that I can trust a website full of strangers more than I can trust my friends and family. Anyway, I have trouble making friends, meeting and talking to women, and just dealing with the stress, anger, and depression I feel. I just want to find true support before any of these problems completely devour me. | |

130 QA Reputation0 | wanhin. said 10 years, 5 months ago: I came to this site after seeing a link posted on 4chan. They had a plan to openly mess with people genuinely seeking help. I thought I’d visit this site just to see what might transpire in my fit of boredom. So I came, chimed in as a listener, and surprisingly found myself giving sound advice to a random stranger with a relationship problem. But oddly, hearing that I’ve actually helped this stranger somewhat made me a little happier inside. Cheesy, I know. And so here I am. Hope I’m welcome to the community. | |

388 QA Reputation0 | enigmatic octopus said 10 years, 5 months ago: @wanhin I came for the same reason haha and wound up staying. I had a preconceived notion that the people venting were going to be whining but I found that that was not the case and I realized how much I liked helping others. So now I have joined because why not? I’m not really a fan of social media these days but I like this site. | |
