It can be a chance encounter or a lifelong friendship, but taking that moment to care is what makes us different than those people who accept our "I'm fine" as a real answer.

Though writing IS a good way to blow off steam, I agree.

I just wanted to point out that it's okay to share. Isn't that what we're here for? To be supported and support one another.

Oh yeah, I know there are some people that help me, and this site helps a lot when I need it, but there are still some days when I don't feel like talking about it to anyone. Most of the people I'm surrounded by on a daily basis don't take the time to listen, especially my Dad. So I adopted the journal as something to help me. I never really have one normal day and it has made my friends a little depressed, or annoyed when I would talk about it.
