Thanks SpoD, I'll make sure to tell her you're creepin' on her from the internet

But in all seriousness, the friends I have made on the internet have helped me through this whole ordeal better than my friends close by, I suppose because they are slightly removed from the situation, and can offer unbiased advice.

It's great that you've found an outlet for any pent up emotions.
I've found the same thing, though I've not been through anything like you have recently, it always seems easier to share your innermost thoughts very openly with complete strangers than it is with your 'real life' friends.
