What good does this do?

[Capt714]

All I see on here is people saying how crappy their lives are. Mine isn’t so great either. But can people provide ways to feel better? I just don’t understand how this helps. Can someone tell me how it helps them? Thanks. By the way I did not mean to criticize anyone.

We do share our self - care tips Capt714. Also writing about our problems helps let them go a bit. I find l have found great support here and hopefully given some too.

Sometimes people have no one to talk to, and to say how they are feeling, so it’s good that we are all on here to listen, and if it helps someone get through the day then I’m happy to listen .

PS any suggestions from you that might help others would be good

If it helps someone to vent there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I was hit w/ some genuine anger from my post. I am just trying to find out how this works. I will start looking thru older posts. Thank you.

I just read your post and I think the way you worded it could have been the reason you experienced some anger. In my time here I have found many positive and uplifting posts.

Just my thoughts, no offense intended.

We all live and learn, so hopefully this site will help you too in some way

I think if you start reading past and current posts, you will find a lot of people's personal growth and coping mechanisms. But yes, there is a lot of sad people here to vent in a place where they feel safe to do that. Take what you need and leave the rest.
