The hardest part of Fb for me is seeing photographs of, for example, a friend remodeling her adorable kitchen. It's tough, because here I am, grateful to be able to rent a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. My therapist tells me to stop comparing. And it's true, everyone has their burdens- even if it doesn't look like it.

Right! I’m communicating with our little community here daily and not with IRL friends and family. There’s an emotional connection, yet it could not exist without the way this forum is meant to work.
