I read reddit, but never actively participated there…
So actually it’s the only forum where I participate.
What about you?

I’ve never tried other SZ forums,
As actually… there are like 4-5 of them worldwide I guess.
I am afraid to look on reddit sz forum. As I read from others it’s crap.
And at least this is one of the most active ones.
And… having accounts on different forums would make me confused.
one other mental health forum…facebook…that’s it.

Urg we have whole psychology group on fb. It’s in my native language…
It’s indeed a scary place. People are more laughing from each other, being rude to each other rather than helping
So a week ago I left it
yes I wouldn’t like any facebook groups.

Is it a good one?
Ok so actually there are probably only 3 forums on SZ.
Just tried to do a research. This one, mental health and Reddit SZ forum.
It’s pretty good, it’s not as active as this one though

No. I love the people here.
I tried Reddit three times, but it wasn’t for me. Won’t be going back there.
I spent about 3 weeks on a private FB group until a few days ago. But I left it, because there was a thread that really upset me. It was about working while on disability, and several people were outright boasting about how they abuse the system.
I have people I deeply care about and respect who work with sz and don’t milk benefits when they can work. It’s really freaking hard, but they do it.
Nothing wrong with collecting benefits when you genuinely need them. I’ve tried going back to work many times, and finally my pnurse said stop, you’re permanently disabled.
But don’t go on the internet and brag about how you’re capable of working full-time but you just work under the limit so those benefit checks keep coming. Or how you have one job, plus a second one that pays you cash so no one can track it.
When I think of those I care about coping with what they do, people laughing about how they get benefits when they’re able to work…just made me so freaking mad. So yeah…not in that group anymore.
I have taken breaks from here, but I always come home again.

This is the only SZ forum. I’m also in an autism community, several amateur broadcasting communities, and some photography communities.

I tried one or two other schizophrenia forums but found them lacking. The people make all the difference. The people here are great and I appreciate being able to connect with my schizophrenic brothers and sisters.

I found one when sz.com went read-only. It was ok but not nearly as good as this one
