I was reading this Health Day News article about women getting more support on-line than in real life because they are more likely to have their feelings discounted or ignored by their family and friends. Do you agree? Why?

For me it's a combination. I find the more I talk about it IRL, the more people I find who have been through something similar or know who have. However, in my opinon,

I definitely get more support online. Even with my very best friends, I often feel like they're just sick of hearing it all. One of my best friends is ttc right now, and every time I talk with her, I wonder if she remembers how she spoke to me after my losses. I think even if they're trying to be helpful, unless you've been here, you have no idea.
