I came here primarily to be mentally stimulated and to have something to do - i don't really post threads about my issues but i try and relate the experiences of posters to my own in the hope of helping them. It probably comes off as selfish but it's just my posting style. I would say PC helps me deal with some problems indirectly - that is to say, i feel less lonely here and more able to discuss certain topics that i wouldn't with other people. Has it helped specifically with certain issues? Generally speaking I would say no. But as that's not really what i came here for it's fine, this place can't mean the same to everyone. We all have our own purposes for using this site.
