How The Show Made An Impact on ME

So, I think it's pretty clear what this is going to be about by reading the title, but I have to get it out. Have to tell you guys.
So, when I first watched the show my life was great! I loved it anyway. But soon as I got less into it, my life started to get plain and dull. I got trapped into the hopelessness that you feel when you're depressed. I wrote about how I felt, I thought about telling people, but I couldn't I was afraid everyone would see me as some freak.
I started becoming really quiet everywhere. I went to school and did my work. Not getting into anyone's business and not even bothering to socialize.
And then I started to watch season 2 and almost immediately it helped. I tried new things and people on here have, for the most part, been kind and amazing to me. There have been times, even recently when I've felt like sh!t, MLP has helped. Things have been hard for me, but I watch one episode and I smile even sometimes after sobbing. Obviously, this isn't the only thing that helped me stop feel sad, but it sure helped.
And that's not even getting into the community, but I'll stop here for the day. ^^
