    I too am here as I am looking for something, reaching out into the darkness in a time of need. I read all your stories and I feel everything happens for a reason. hopefully you find what you so need in your life as will I :)

    Sometimes strangers can be the best friends, you're right, less judgment

    I ask myself what I'm doing here every day when I log in. I think I've been here about 3 years, but during that time I've left and come back and left again, only to return.

    Your story is quite common. There are a lot of people here who've mentioned they found EP quite by accident, while searching for answers to (fill in the blank) and so the common thread seems to be we were all searching for the answer to what was either missing, or wrong in our lives. There was one friend I had, whose since deleted his account, that described EP as an asylum. Knowing him as I did, he said that with double meaning. Sure, a lot of us landed here because we were damaged in some way, but for many of us, this site is our "asylum" a place of safety and security.

    I guess I keep coming back because it is a point of safety for me. Because of the expectation of anonymity, I can share things here I could never share face to face.

    You said, you don't let people in because you were hurt badly. I never got hurt directly but I had to sacrifice in my life before and the pain taught me to never love someone where it will devastate you. But I will only know when time comes. if ever

      I know we're all here for different reasons and most people I have come across have been lovely and upfront. But there are those who would let you believe they want one thing when in fact they want another! Seems like at times people can be quite hurtful not only in the "real" world but also in the "virtual" one too!! Thank you for your comment xx

    Hi...I want to first say welcome..My name is Antonia I was--am having many different problems and me myself happened to do the same thing. I don;t have any friends but the ones on the lap top so....it seemed like a good i dear I have written many stories and I never got a bad reply they alway's gave me the truth.I have been on here for a few years I took sometime off and just came back this past week. I suffer from depression and it was taking over my life so I felt I needed a break .It would mean so much if we could be friends I myself answer all my mail and if I cant get to it I let them know..I think we can really become good friends if you will just give me the chance.Just friend me and message me...I look forward to hearing from you..Hope you have a good night Antonia

    I think your story was helpful for me in order to identify "why" I am on EP. Certainly I am looking for friends and I want my circle to be small and tight-nit. Spending time in the QnA section is enjoyable until I see the most God-awful stupid questions imaginable, then I *smack my forehead* and logoff. ;)

      Glad it was helpful to u babe :-) And yeah I wud rather have a close nit small circle of friends on here who do actually want to communicate rather then loads who just dont bother, got enuff people who dont bother in "real" life! Q&A is good sometimes to relieve the boredom but hell yeah it gets pretty stupid at times lol. If u do find ur self "smakin ur forehead" dont log off ,if im here then messsage me :-) xxx
