Hello and welcome all~

I did a lot of research while being unable to sleep last night and noticed that there wasn't many safe places for people with acute/chronic illnesses online. Most had shut down. Other sites seemed so sketchy and unfriendly. While on this search, I also had this lonely feeling. I felt lost of where to turn to had I been in other's shoes who look for places to go for support and to find other people with issues - without having to pay a monthly fee. Not knowing where to turn to, I thought why not start where I'm comfortable and where I write to vent my own pain: AFF.

That being said, I'd like to invite all who have any health, mental, etc problems to be able to see other people who have your same situations and to remind us all we're not alone. There are people like you who understand and may have insight for you to brighten your situation. There are people who suffer alone, and they shouldn't have to.

Being on a site full of stories and a unique bunch of people from all different backgrounds, I would like to collect any fics of vents, pain-- any writing at all that is inspired by personal hardships. Let your story be heard here. Someone is always here to listen and to hold your hand when you feel insecure and alone.

Let's be strong and get through this together ♡

I have also opened a discussion thread (found here) with the same title as this blog for those who would rather speak or support in that way. I plan to collect writing I'm given and post it under a story thread for others to find and read for their own comfort and privacy.
