Some days it's just so hard to stay strong...

I can remember my Grandmother saying "Smile, it's easier than explaining why you're sad". I always thought that it was a very strange thing to say but as I get older I now understand that this is quite true

I think this goes for a lot of us on GN, for all sorts of reasons, and have thought hard about owning up to it. It's sometimes easier to be bright, cheery, jokey, and compassionate, full of news and fun, hiding behind what lies beneath.
For the past few days there have been 5 threads running which I have found very difficult, and that I wish I could address, but realistically this is not the place.
So I'm putting this out here and just saying, that's all.
