didn't know where this goes...

You mean it comforting to talk to people more screwed up than yourself? Maybe.

I'm receiving professional help at the moment for bereavement, it is good to get help from here and other forums, but you can't open right up. She needs both as I do/did.

We all need help sometime when we are in dark places in our lives, and if anyone goes though life without ever experiencing that, they can regard themselves as lucky.

i find writing your thoughts out is kinda like self therapy.
probably cheaper too.

You're right writing your thoughts out does help I can testify to that, but sometime It's not enough. Therapy and counselling can be obtained on the NHS.
