I have been on both sides of the spectrum here, venter and listener. I love that it's free and 24/7. You can grab good listeners on here. I was very depressed and alone one night and a listener on here helped me get through the night when it would've been miserable otherwise. I cried and told her about things in my life and it helped immensely, I wish I knew her real name so I could say thank you to her. As for listeners, as long as you cut out a block of time (few hours) then you'll be good. Most sessions end up being about an hour but I had one last about 3 before. You can really help people being the listener and I love that it's also free for people like me that like helping people without all the hassle and in a place where people come at their wits end because they have no one else to talk to.
