Discussion do you think people you know irl who CTBed have been on this forum?

Since discovering this site I've been thinking about the idea that people I know have been here. I was sad thinking they were here suffering, probably feeling alone. I had the selfish thought that I wish they might have looked for help in their friends, which is weird because I know firsthand that just isn't always possible, nor is it always a solution to the misery of life. I just wish I could have known the other side of them, been there in their pain. But sometimes it's better to share the happier moments and be left with those memories. They may have never been on or even known about this place, but there's a strange comfort in the idea that they had a community that heard and understood them in their last days.

Do any of you have any similar thoughts or feelings? Or have you known anyone personally that was on this forum? How did it affect you when you found out?
