"true love", or love,can't cure anything. But having a person you really trust next to you can help you work through some stuff that you otherwise couldn't. I've suffered from anxiety, suicidal depression and insomnia for most of my life. I can't count the nights I've lied awake in my bed, so terrified I couldn't even move my eyeballs because my entire body was frozen stiff. Not saying all this to be dramatic or anything but trying to explain that yeah, there's been some nasty turns.

Yet these nights I sleep like a baby, every single night, because the man I love and trust is next to me. I can get anxiety attacks still, from time to time, but I've learned that I can deal with them by touching him or holding him (though he can't hold me, then I panic more). So yeah, there you are, there can be that one person who makes you safer and can let you relax a bit. The love doesn't conquer, but we're social animals and feel safer with someone whom we trust.

I get that. An old friend of mine alleviated some of my own issues, at least for the time I could be open with her. It was pretty isolating dealing with it alone, let alone when others could quite get it, that I couldn't just lie back and close my eyes, or just not believe pervasive thoughts. So them, and the comfort of being with them, I get it :)

In fiction, it isn't always played as a comfort or something that helps someone deal with whatever it is they have. In particular with indulgent fan fiction, it's the "cure-all" I was getting at.
