Has something terrible happened in your life? Are things just not going your way? Have you lost a loved one? Many people have some great stories to tell about some not-so-great occurrences in their lives. This is the place to talk about it. Don't go through it alone! Talk amongst fellow Redditors who would be happy to help.

Be Supportive If what you're saying is having a negative impact on someone seeking support, your comments may be removed, and you may be banned. If you would like to get off the ban list you can message the mods.

Reminder: After posting a submission, check the new section. If your post isn't up within a couple of minutes, copy the link of your submission and message the mods with it to let us know it's in the spam filter. Otherwise, we will try to check as often as possible to get it out.

This subreddit is also great for those who get gratification out of helping others. If you want to help but can't think of the words or don't have time, vote them up to draw more attention to it so that others can find and help them.

Please report comments you find to be overly rude or offensive.
