This site helps me a lot.
Yes it does !!!
How much does this site help you.
It has made me feel content with what I am.
Yes. It’s nice to be in a kind community.
Very little. I’m mostly here to try and provide support and motivation to others.
And for the ankles. I hear sz ankles are tastier.

They need to shower more regularly. That’s why I stole all the ketchup packets - improve the taste.
Yes it does. I like the discussions. I like to see persons get support. I feel like I am not alone. It is educational.
Understanding and being understood.
I can relate with others here in a way where no one in IRL can.
I feel others here are very supportive and caring. Especially those doing well or even those struggling.
This is what I like about it too.
It helps me. I am literally on this site 24 hours, unless I am sleeping.
It for sure helps me. I like the Say Anything thread bc somehow seeing my thoughts, hopes, and struggles on the screen helps me make sense of them.
This website or rather the forum part of it did help me. It took years however. Even then the more important component of my recovery was how I acted “offline” on the information I received here.
To just pop in, get into an argument and leave is useless. I saw some people appear, get told that they are delusional and need help, then they get angry or upset, only to suddenly leave. It is probably better to challenge delusions slightly and infrequently than not at all. When I joined the community I already accepted that I am “probably” delusional, so it was easier for me, so far as forum communication goes.
Also, it’s off-topic but I feel it’s beneficial to mention somewhere.
I used to believe that challenging delusions is useless because delusions delve in the subconscious and cannot be argued with. In other words, delusions are not the product of an error in a rational thought process but rather formed and committed to memory from a deeper level, before any kind of logic can be applied.
However, since this summer, I changed my opinion. My delusions were suddenly and subtly challenged and proved completely false and ridiculous, as they really are. That made me regain almost all of my sanity and even helped with negative symptoms! Unless I struggled and agonized and learned from this forum, that whole situation wouldn’t have had impact on me. I probably would have still thought I am a saintly prophet in piss stained pants. It’s experiences like this that are worth sharing on the forum.
Yeah it does. For days when im unwell and being able to relate with others is a big help.
It helps me to help others. I probably don’t help enough but when I say something that inspires, gives hope or solves someones problem that makes me feel good and I’m glad for that person.
All this time I thought you liked my crusty ankle cheese. Fine, I’m wearing tube socks for a week. No ankles for you!
I think you do plenty. Your recovery story and humor really brightens the forum up.
Lowers tail in your shining presence
Aww shucks, thanks. (And you can raise your tail, lol.).
Unless you want a tomato juice bath maybe I should be at ease.
