#About

The original creator of this subreddit was going through a very rough time in his life when he made it, but he still did his best daily to reach out to redditors and listen to their stories. Though he eventually found he needed to leave reddit to battle his demons, we will try our best to be here to listen to you.

You are always welcome to post and talk, private message others, discuss and share in a supportive manner!
