Ditto what Lil said. On the down side, I have noticed a couple times that there seems to be some group think happening on the board at times. When one person hits a roadblock, it isn't long before several others are also running into the same one, same for the good times.
The relative anonymity (that doesn't look right, I'm sure its not, but I'm too tired to figure out what it should be) of the bb makes it perhaps easier to be candid and completely honest about your sich. The SSM problems are something I'd have a difficult time talking about with coworkers, family or neighbors. Even if I got over the embarrassment, for a male, the typical response is give her a break, as though you are a complainer. Here it is comforting to know that others are in a similar sitch, and the more important thing is there are people here who have made some real positive changes. Those successes serve both as encouragement and as a model to look to when mapping your own journey. If the bb wasn't doing me good, I wouldn't be wasting my time here. That said, it is also good to take vacations from it.
