I think so too, if this place wants to remain sz-related.
Yes! Looks like it. 
it will always be sz related
There should be a category for ninjasā¦ just sayin

Seems like iām the one whoās misunderstanding all this. When I saw the āotherā section I thought itās for ppl with bi-polar or depression.
But if itās for those with other diagnosis AND psychosis then this site sticks to sz.
i just wanted a general area for everyone sz or not idk, i keep changing my mind, its pretty ā ā ā ā ā ā up tbh
Dxād -other :
A Support and Discussion area for people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia / schizo-affective, or something other than schizophrenia or schizo-Affective, or who think they might have a related disorder or symptoms, or who suffer from hearing voices). This is a general discussion forum.

We need the āgeneralā category then.
But that leads to more ppl without any diagnosis at all.
So we might simply need the āDXād sz/sza/otherā category.
So we might simply need the āDXād sz/sza/otherā category.
That what the dxād -other category is. Itās for sz/a and other.
Anyway, Iām outta this thread!
Itās difficult to know that itās a general category with a look.
If itās ok for sz/sza to post there, why there is the āsz/szaā category?
Oh Goawd. Hereās the rules:
People with sz/a CAN post in sz/a and āotherā.
People without sz/a canāt post in sz/a
its too confusing, i canāt figure it out
I think Itās just confusing.
Lookā¦
If you go 'Kookoo BananaSpoons" when youāre off of your meds, then feel free to post where ever you likeā¦be you Sz, Sza, BP, KFC, HIV, NFLā¦
This is how I feel at this point.

To put it more accurately those without a past or present dx of sz/a arenāt supposed to post there.
Yes thatās right. Sorry. Itās lateā¦
Whooooosh. <ā the sound of me actually leaving the thread this time.
It is confusing. The reasoning is that this is a schizophrenia board that has become used by and useful to people with conditions closely related to sz/a as well - basically anyone who has experienced psychosis.
Which is great - Iām in the same boat as @Anna, I have psychotic depression and canāt find another community that addresses that problem like this one does.
But some people with sz/a began to feel crowded out of their own community, and needed a safe space, a place where they could talk about their issues without the discussion being overrun by other issues.
So this was the solution - two forums, one that operates much as weāre used to the forums operating, and a new one for the times when people with sz/a really just need to talk with other people in the same boat and not everyone who thinks they understand but maybe doesnāt.
No one has to use the new board. But itās there, in case itās needed.

I felt so dumb.
Why do I have to feel like this here?
Why does it make things so confusing and difficult to understand?
If this site is for only those who can understand all the rules with ease, then this site is not for me.
Donāt feel that way! It is confusing, and no one has understood the rules with ease. There has been a lot of confusion and upset over the changes as we all get used to them.
Iām just sharing some of the backstory because I know that you, and lots of other members too, drop in and out periodically and so canāt possibly be expected to know all of this.
The short version is just that there are a few members with sz/a who donāt feel comfortable posting where people who donāt have sz/a can reply. In order to help sz/a people - the core membership of the site - without abandoning the other people who have come to rely on this place for support, this was the best solution they could come up with.
If it makes you feel any better, @everhopeful and I (and plenty of other people) spent the first couple of days after the change squawking āEXPLAIN PLEASEā like a flock of agitated chickens
