Fair enough...but if a good number of your friends are already on here doesn't that defeat the purpose? If I'm ever deeply depressed I hope to god that I don't share on this forum because there are some awesome people that I have met on here, there are also some particularly nasty people on here that I wouldn't trust with my feelings.
