This is why I'm not dead.

If this web site didn't exist then I think I would have killed my self. So I pray and love who ever made this site and if I'd ever met them I think I'd hug them so much that they would bleed from me hugging them for so long. This ever happened to you where you were just so sad once in your life and then one thing/person entered your life and you grew that much happier?

I know the feeling. I used to be depressed, and my thoughts were constantly aimed towards the nearby bridge. Simply put, I spent a long time considering suicide. Somewhere along the way, I met a friend from Canada, in an MMORPG named Fallen Earth. 'Till this day, I figuratively owe him my life. I can't thank him enough, for the hours he spent putting up with my shit, listening to me, and genuinely wanting to help me out. A caring soul in what felt like an ocean of people that couldn't give a **censor** about me. Forums and gaming have lead me to meet alot of people that ended up helping me along the way, but none as much as he did.

  holy damn man that's the most touching thing I've ever heard. . I can't beat that. But I can my parents used to beat each other when I was…5 or 6.  4 years later they got a divorce and now we are happier then ever... So happy    I wonder what other people have experienced.

We're very glad that the Furry Forums has been a positive influence in your life, nixon, and Tweak and I both enjoy being able to provide a place where people like you can feel welcomed and at home. It's why we've kept this place going all these years.


That being said, this thread has kind of started to turn into a "list all of the terrible things that have happened in our lives" topic, and this isn't really the place for that sort of thing. It's a shame that some of you have had to deal with such hardships, and I'm sure it did - and still does - take a lot of strength to work through those things. If you would like to talk about your life experiences, however, I would encourage you to make use of our Journals board instead. As long as the content remains appropriate according to the forum rules, you are welcome to discuss the events of your life there.

Locking this thread before it continues as is.
