So, I broke up with my maybe gay/maybe not boyfriend of three and a half years last Saturday, the day I finished my master's thesis. In the last week, I had to deal with the unbearable pain of losing him on top of having to write two final papers. I didn't think I would be able to get through it.

I can say with total honesty that this board saved my ass. The comments I received in response to my post, everyone who shared their own stories, all of this support and empathy for everyone spared me from going over the edge. When I thought I was losing it, I would check in to be reminded that I was not alone (especially in the wee hours of the morning when my non-student friends were sleeping). I graduate with an MA next week.

My infinite gratitude to everyone here. Thank you.

Wow! That's a fantastic testimonial for this board. I second everything you said. It's a totally awesome place, and I know that having everyone's shoulder to cry on here certainly makes my sad times a little more bearable. Especially when I hear stories that sound so much worse than my own ... I realize how much worse off I could be and it makes e feel better. You're great, geenser. We're all great. Thank you ivillage!
