Feeling lonely? Need to vent? Have ideas?
As the saying goes, "a problem shared is a problem halved," and with two-thirds of Americans feeling stressed out, and a similar amount experiencing loneliness, there’s plenty of reasons for us to be talking. But sometimes it's easier said than done — we can't always find someone to talk to.
