Music really helps. I agree. For me it's heavy rock - for some reason I find it theraputic !?

With regard to people. Modern society promotes a very selfish attitude to others. I have found that people as a whole don't understand anyone wanting to help others above themselves. This leads people to be very guarded about what they say. The person needing help doesn't want to say anything because they'll be perceived as weak and the person being asked doesn't like to help for fear of becoming responsible.

Where was I going with this?

I've not been on here long but have found the people on these forums are very caring and very helpful. Maybe the anonymity helps, but I find these forums far more helpful than anyone 'in real life'.
