I find that it does help me to feel a bit less lonely when I’m feeling lonely because I feel like I’m part of a forum.
I particularly also like the news section
But
I also feel its a bit distracting sometimes like I should try and get more sleep now before I go on a family outing but the site is keeping me awake.
But
Overall I’m glad to be part of a forum… Even though I still feel paranoid about people discovering me… The anonymousity aspect of this site is of upmost importance to me
I like it for the most part. To be honest I’d feel a bit better if it was private and not open to the entire internet, but that’s just personal opinion on that. I like that there’s other people who go through what I deal with and that we can help each other through things.
I could take it or leave it but honestly I have a soft spot for this website and the people I’ve interacted with over the years. Some great highs and low, lows and sometimes endless frustration. It’s a journey for sure and that is life which you see through these boards.
At the moment I spend some time here. It’s good to touch base with folk but I’ve gone long periods without it and did pretty good.
I like it. It helps me.
I browse alot of sites. This one is good because i’m able to interact with people that are probably going through the same stuff as me. I never used to post online until recently. It’s a small comfort being able to read the different topics that pop up. I spend alot of time away though, usually i’m playing some video game and refresh the site when i’m done the match. I’ve only been here for awhile though.
It’s always good seeing new people on here. Welcome to the forum NoTitle
This is the forum , with its successive incarnations, that I’ve participated in for by far the longest period of time.
People are so well behaved here. It is not like the rest of the internet where people act inappropriately a lot.
It has helped me a lot with recovery too. Also good if you are just bored in general.
I enjoy it. There are bits I don’t like but overall I value the friends ive made here! It’s nice to have people to relate to!
I LOVE it! I think it’s super awesome! I’ve received genuine help here during crisis! And I learn so much from everyone! Mostly, I’m inspired to keep going!
It makes me feel good being here. All in all, being on this site has overwhelmingly been a positive experience.
I’ve helped people and people have helped me too. I call that a pretty fair trade-off. I’ve had so many cool people like me or like what I’ve written, and I don’t want to take that for granted. Hopefully, I’ve earned the respect that many people show me and I wouldn’t change a thing!!
I know I have because I give people my respect. And that is another fair trade.
I like it here. Nice to have people who get it. I’ve mostly had good experiences
I like it because of it being well moderated and the way most of us can work out disagreements. Today for instance, I was too harsh on @anon47167357’s thread but worked it out in PM. Most forums, members would just go on another rant for ten years.
I can’t stand reddit layout. It stops me from going to that one.
It’s been really quiet here lately and not like before. Also I have a harder time interacting lately. Sometimes I find I’m happier and less anxious when I don’t use this website. But I always like reading about people regardless of their functioning level who managed to recover.
I’m here daily, it’s one of my few social outlets, some things I wouldn’t mind changing, but I can’t complain
I really enjoy my time here. The interactions I’ve made here help me get through the isolating times. And I try to help others when I can. Makes me feel good, to help.
I love this forum. I’m not even on here very often, but I would feel a bit lost again if the forum wasn’t here. It’s the only place where I can openly be myself and feel understood and in like-company.
I like it here, i can learn, i can vent, i can get/give advice, i can feel not as alone but i told my mum i found this site she said i am wallowing in my illness and i should be doing something else with my time, i wish i new how to explain that it helps.
