The dark is giving up, or failure to work. Lack of meaningful activity is the same. This makes the claim of "pushing back the dark" untrue, unless the dark is a lack of good conversation. Bit ridiculous to say that a website can get rid of something so personal.

I push it back by doing things that improve myself. As long as I can keep improving, I'll be in the light.

Ridiculous, yet true.

Isn't the dark pushed back a bit if you are alone in a dark place and a voice speaks out of the darkness and says, "You're not alone"?

Isn't the dark pushed back a bit if you need confidence to move out of the darkness? And a voice speaks out of the darkness and says, "You can do it. You can leave that dark place. You can dump that chump or find new friends or face down the bullies or gain some perspective or be less binary." And you do.

Isn't the dark pushed back a bit if .... you tell me.
