Thanks for all the compliments ppl...

I was lucky I kinda stumbled upon the idea thorugh someone on facebook or youtube (i think) and got in touch with the person who was creating it.

I thought it was an amazing idea ....it does show that SA is a universal issuse and that 'You are not alone' !!.

I did find quite a challenge to say those few words to a digicam though..

Hopefully more things like this will make SA more 'visible' around the world ..and connect the SA community even more.

Hope it will give encourage and hope to all the ppl who feel isolated.

Aw i saw this on facebook ages ago, it's so sad actually, nearly made me cry.

On the other hand it's a great positive thing because it'll help people that have never heard of sa and maybe they can find help, and comfort to know there's more people out there like them.

Rosabel · #20 18th January 2010, 13:49

Very well done Shaukat

talisman · #21 18th January 2010, 19:12

After I watched that I was thinking that it would be great if all us truely lonely people online could make one about loneliness. I'm always saddened by how many people post about being lonely all over the internet. SA is rather specific, but loneliness affects a much wider range of individuals. I dunno if anything like that has been done before.

piesJoy · #25 19th January 2010, 20:43

yes i am (alone).

shok · #26 19th January 2010, 20:45

Thanks King Yama !! :

Talisman- not really looked into videos about lonliness ..i'm sure there will be some out there...it is a very widespread problem .

scratch · #27 23rd January 2010, 11:03

well done Shaukat, a very brave thing to do

You remind me of Ram Vaswani, one of my favourite poker players

shok · #28 24th January 2010, 01:12

Thanks for your comments Scratch

i havent heard of Ram Vaswani before .
