My Idea

I've been asked many times in my years what I want to be when I grow up. What do I want to do? What is my purpose? I think a lot of us wonder this. And many of us could answer it with 'I want to make a difference.' But how? What kind of difference do you want to make? How do you want to leave your mark on the world? I think I've found the answer to that for myself. I'd like to create a network online for people battling depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and many other issues they want and/or need to talk about. Many people would tell me that this isn't my problem, that I can't focus on trying to fix them, that they need professional help. But here's the thing about that. I want to help them. I'm not trying to fix them. And not everyone is helped by professionals. Yes, sometimes it helps to talk face-to-face with someone who's handled other people with the same thing you deal with. But sometimes it just worsens it. I've talked to therapists before. It didn't help me at all. In fact, it can make things worse. Especially with people who get anxious around others. Sometimes, it's more helpful to talk to someone through text rather than face-to-face. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone you don't know instead of a friend. I want to set up a network for this purpose so that people can find others who share their thoughts and can help each other. No one needs to know one another and everyone can help each other.
