I had/have a marriage problem that I couldn't share with anyone in real life and had kept it in for 2 years. I was like a pressure cooker and found PC - it gave me an outlet to vent. Due to the mental abuse I've gone through, its isolated me from having real friends. How can I have a friend, if I have to hide my suffering. Most people think I'm lucky and live an easy life. I've met the nicest people here and when I'm on, its feels like a mini brain vacation....where I can temporarily forget my problems and fears.
