But you're not alone. Not really.

I know that knowing people, and even having friends, on the internet isn't quite like having friends in real life, but sometimes just knowing that somebody is there is enough.

I have a really great friend that I met on some website, and when I see that he's online from my yahoo inbox, I usually poke at him. Usually we don't have anything to say beyond "hey, how are you? that's good", but if I'm feeling lonely or anxious, sometimes I nudge at him once in a while, just to reassure myself that he's still there. Just a "-poke-", and he'll come back with "Still here". I know that he's states away, and that if something attached me he wouldn't be able to do a thing about it. But knowing that he's at least there makes me feel better.

I'm sure that everyone on this site would be happy to lend an ear, or talk to you for a while. It doesn't fix the problem, but at least you might feel a little better for a few hours.

You can always feel free to poke at me if you need some company, or someone to talk to. I hope you start to feel better soon.
