Pay it forward!

Dear friend, have you discovered something that helped you in your battle with the demons of sadness and despair? Even just a fleeting thought that gave you a moment of relief? Consider writing it down, or tell the story! Anything at all, however small, that brings comfort to you can bring comfort to some other poor soul--your discovery is no less significant than an herbalist or scientist discovering a new medicine. Different people require different remedies for the same ailment; your personal strategy might be the ONLY one that helps another in pain. Passing the knowledge on helps you yourself remember it more readily, and creates the real possibility that something good and important can come out of your suffering.
