I respectfully disagree. This has been a safe place for me to express myself when I don't really need advice, I just need to be heard. And a way to support and encourage others without draining myself of what little I have.
Everyone has issues to varying degrees. And yes, if you're on SW/EP, you probably found it as a way to get support amongst people who aren't as judgemental.
Problem is the people that come here and want to pretend everything is easy. Whether it's because of lack of understanding or caring, those few people throw off the energy. Thankfully we have a block button for that.
Personally, I wouldn't trust or believe in anything if not for the few here that like me well enough to keep in contact. The people I find things in common with so I don't feel so alone and usually that's all I need. I don't really come here looking for advice, though I have gotten some very valuable advice, it's mostly the encouragement that is so profound.
I hate when people show up on here acting like we're all a bunch of screw ups. We're not. I think there's an honest, genuine, caring bunch of individuals I'm fortunate enough to know when I otherwise would never have met them IRL.
