I don't think I'll ever be a huge, huge poster. But what this site offers to me as a lurker is hope. Sometimes I feel like we live in hell on Earth and part of the punishment is that no one else is allowed to acknowledge it, but we acknowledge it, we call it out, and we commiserate. I wish I was closer to people here but sometimes just waking up and seeing that other people see it too is enough.
Fully agreed, it’s very validating to see other people acknowledge a lot of horrible realities most handwave or deny. It can really throw you into a solipsistic spiral when everyone around you seems to gaslight you or completely deny reality as you experience it. Simply seeing other posts here that I can really relate to has helped my mental health significantly
For real, same. I think about how much I can fall into despair now even with this place, I can only imagine what it would be like without it.
