Why this exists

I'm not sharing my name here — the people this community serves get to stay anonymous, and it felt right to keep the focus on that, not on me.

I became dependent on concentrated 7-OH. I was taking it just to function and to keep withdrawal away, spending more on it than I meant to, and searching Reddit late at night trying to understand what was happening to me. I didn't tell my family or friends. Even though I could see, right there in those late-night threads, that plenty of other people were going through the exact same thing — I still felt completely alone with it.

That's the specific gap Just Another Friend is trying to close. Not a replacement for medical care — a calm, anonymous place where someone in that exact moment can find people who actually understand it, without it turning into a whole ordeal and without having to hand over their real identity just to talk to someone who gets it.

If you're here because some version of that sounds familiar — I built this hoping you'd land here and think: I found my people. I'm not alone in this. And I know what to do next.

This is still early. It's a small, independent, bootstrapped project, built and maintained by one person. It will stay imperfect for a while, and it will keep improving because real people are using it and telling us what's missing.
