I somewhat get what the T was saying, but I do think that it could have been phrased differently. I don't think that this site should replace treatment. I agree with needarealitycheck, it depends on a vistors intentions--what they are seeking.
For most of us it gives us hope and a support system. I've only been a member for about a week or so and I feel better knowing that there are tons of people going through some of the things that I am. Better yet, there are many who have overcome those things that I am still struggling with so I can learn from them! And those people who are sturggling with things that I have overcome maybe I can be of encouragement to them.
With anything in life there are pros and cons... you can't stop living.
