I do but I never use them.
I just take it straight to God these days.

This site is a good distraction so I come here whenever I feel down.

Not really, but it's important to experience those emotions and sit with them sometimes.
They're part of life, and life is a great deal of suffering sometimes.
I find the more you obsess on what you lack, the more you lack. It becomes a vacuous exercise.
Thus, it's important to practice gratitude, esp. in the heart of sorrow.
It's important to go above and beyond, esp. in the face of crushing defeat.
Perseverance is an art.

I have a couple of online friends I met here who are willing to listen to me whine. They're amazing buddies.

It's perfectly normal, plenty of people have this problem and if you find yourself without somebody to vent too, then go looking for one. Just be careful you don't get somebody who'll enable your toxic thoughts rather than be there to simply help you let off steam. Also consider talk therapy.

Yes. I've taken my time to cleanse out people in life who I can't really be myself with or talk to, people who didn't really care about me. I made room for new better connections. I have people irl and online now who I can talk real with.

I can vent in here too but it hasn't given that much back so far,I came here as a meme entertaining person with easy content posts and so my followers probably don't expect me to suddenly post sadness and heavy content.

If I need to I have subs on reddit for my mental struggles. Or I just make my pain to poems and post in poem communities.

One can say I have strategized my needs very well. I know where to go with what. But then there's a self destructive pattern I'm still not able to crack. And that's why I'm in therapy (with a break during summer)

If anyone needs someone to talk real too I'm all ears. I find such conversations meaningful and important.

My buddy. He's been there for me for over 30 years. I tell him things i don't even tell my therapist about

Nope, I am my best ear and problem solver

I don’t really but I wish that I did

just my elderly parents.

On here I do yes.

Nah I'm fine.

I'll just make humorous posts on here and elsewhere joking around the cause, but otherwise no.

I don't know if it's normal or not, but the hard lesson I've learned is that I'm my own best comforter.

I don't know if it's normal but it is good to have someone you trust and feel comfortable with to talk to.

Some people do not. It is a blessing and we ought to let our person vent to us too sometimes to help them relieve stress as well

More so when I'm frustrated. 😅 I'm a pain in the ass. Or rather in the ear..
I'm highly frustrated these days but already reached the point when I can't vent to anyone anymore. Just find the solution.

Not normal but it's a human experience, it happens to many

Sometimes.

I have y'all. Need to whine and cry? Just gotta log in to my sw

no one cares... so i talk to God

Hmm well not really

I just come on here and troll trolls

Maybe my co ordinator or my nurse

No

Not really.
