Hello,

My name is Matt and I just want to write a little thank you too everyone in the sc2 community and all the my other Gaming friends who have showed me such love and really have saved me form taking my own life more then once.

A little background I'm 22 year old who suffers form Schizoid personality disorder, Avoidant personality disorder and Depression my childhood wasn't a very good one I watched my Father die when I was young and was sexual abused for years,

But even though I have such trouble making friends in real life or relating too other people, Iv found such wonderful people on the internet that never judge me and are always there to help me though the hard times. Iv recently found starcraft 2 and I really enjoy it the community is quite wonderfully and I'm very glad I can call myself part of it.

Even though we might have never meet or spoken Its people like you guys that saved me for killing myself and I just want too say thank you ^_^ gl hf

Hey Matt! Wow you have an amazing story there, I'm happy you shared it with us, I can't imagine how hard it must have been on you. There certainly can be some nice people on the internet that won't judge and keep you distracted from other issues, make sure you avoid the ones who just try to piss people off too.

Happy you got your life together! You can pm sometime if you need someone else to talk to!

Ya, I try to stay away for the troll's even though sometimes they make me giggle, I find if you look around you will find more honest nice people then trolls because they never really stick around very long.

and thank you that is very kind of you, <3 ^_^

Having APD most defiantly sucks, I hope everything is good for you its really a hard disorder to deal with If you ever need someone to talk too feel free to drop me a PM =)

Its struggle everyday for me but having good friend and meeting nice people like you guys makes it easier =D

We're behind you mate, I can relate to some of your suffering.

Fuck the haters, insults into dust, compliments into... uhm... (akward time to get a brain freeze lol). Into something really hard and tough.

Apd just makes you sound a lot more interesting to me.

what you say is true. People on the internet are easier to connect to mostly because there is little to no impact personally unless they take it really seriously. I have helped many people through what you went through simply because i met them online and they were open to share their issues. I've been told that i'm always the guy to go to who is open and honest about stuff so if you ever want another input pm me =)
