I was looking for a mental health board for ages. Tried a couple of others over the years and they never were that active. Like a few posts a month kinda thing. I signed up here when I found people talking about lurasidone I think, and I’m still here
Similar story. Was browsing questions on google, unsatisfied by other places I had encountered. Got some questions answered by lurking here, maybe a month.
Tossed in my chips with you lot and keep coming back every day.
I looked something up on Google, I can’t remember what, and I stumbled across this website. I read through it for a few days to try and get a feel for it, what it was like, I like it so I then signed up.
I’m glad I found it because prior to this website I had no social life. I have no friends or a girlfriend for over a decade. People wanted nothing to do with me after I told them I have schizophrenia.
Same for me. I was having symptoms that were hard to deal with, and in my desperation I googled ‘schizophrenia forum’. Clicked on a handful of links and went for the one that seemed the most active.
Browsed for about 10 minutes, then made my first thread.
When that didn’t work out, I decided to stay anyways.
But no, I participated frantically right away when I found this forum. I had finally found a place where other people were going through the same thing as me.
I thought my experience with Sz was unique to me, and it was reassuring to know I wasn’t the only one.
