Talking here helped calm me down. Was very stressed due to my upcoming exams. Feeling much better now.

I was facing a lot of caste and class based abuse from my colleagues. Wasn't able to open to to anyone (not even my husband) about it until now. My thought was "I am a doctor and a strong woman. If I can't handle such small stuff, how will I save lives" But their ridicule about my tastes and culture was killing me inside. I spoke with my buddy. He was very helpful. He showed me that no, you are not weak for being hurt by others. That my patients will still love and respect me even if I show sometimes my pain. I don't know whether I will be able to solve all my problems. But what I know after the chat with my dearest buddy is that I shouldn't be ashamed to stand up for my respect. Next time, if someone talks something that disrespects me as a person, I will try to tell them that that is not ok. I also plan to tell my husband and friends about these things also. I thank my buddy so much. They are a very kind soul helping well past midnight. Good to see people in society like this also. All the best to my buddy. If I can give my buddy 10 stars I will give him 10 stars

The person rainbow whoever they may be, was real good as a passive listener. That it didn't get to the root of the problem in one setting, but at least you know, they were listening to me. That they also gave me some psychologists' contacts to deal with my suicide ideation phase. That a dark time which I'm still undergoing through, rainbow was like a small peak of light. So yeah, I'm hoping it's the first step to you know, getting myself back on the track.

What a wonderful idea! Kudos to the thought and execution!

You are doing God's work! My assigned volunteer was very helpful. She patiently listened to me. Through the entire day, I was crying. Only after letting out my feelings with her, did I stop sobbing. I was having such a terrible week and finding this site was the best thing that happened to me in months. Stay blessed and carry on your good work.

It's been a phenomenal learning curve for me in understanding how I could contribute my expertise in mental health and behavioral sciences to help develop innovations in the mental health tech and product space! LonePack Buddy is unique in that it emphasized Listener quality and has made that it's priority in every step. Happy to be a part of helping improve the training and evaluation for Listeners here which by far has yielded us quality contributors 💯💯

A milestone in a journey of over a year, our heart and soul put into it, so we can help anyone in need @theLonePack !

Mental health based products are yet to make it big here. So glad to see an anonymous peer supported app that will help do its part to bridge the gap between the lack of proper mental healthcare resources and the billion-level population that we have. Much much needed at the moment!

I'll always be grateful and indebted to you and the rest of the team for volunteering your time for me. It shows that you guys care and that makes me feel like I really am worth something. The last few months were much more easier for me to get through(compared to before) because of you guys. Thank you sooooo much for that <3
