For me, it’s the new rule to delete selfie threads!!!
Horses allowed ?
I enjoy the sense of community and also the chance to learn from others.
Yes they are, in digital gif form.
I like how it has help at all levels from just getting me stable to getting me to progress and recover all that I have lost. And to reach the highest levels of functioning in life that I dreamed of. There is support for me here on all levels.
Yes me too
Especially the sense of community
I like the the fact we can talk to people with the same problems, like schizophrenia.
Any other forum would think I’m crazy lol
cyber socializing and our illness info from everyone
This forum has helped me connect with others with my diagnosis. Even though I have love in my life, I still have no one who might understand what I go through silently on a daily basis.
I like that it’s global and there are 24/7 people online.
I like the user interface too, the design looks modern and works smoothly. Forums tend to look hectic and ugly, not this one though
It’s a kind and empathetic community. I used Reddit r/schizophrenia and r/Psychosis. They were too toxic and the promotion of suicide. So I quit and came here.
I like that I can occasionally help, inspire or give hope to someone with my story or occasionally help someone with advice. I like that it is so supportive here and most people are nice or at least try to be nice.
Y’all are nice and supportive. Even if you express your opinions, you guys are pretty tolerant.
It has helped me a lot when I was delusional, I should probably try to return the favor now when I can
Knowing I am not alone.
I just like having people to talk to. I miss that it used to be a community of recovered folks who just socialize, now it’s more of an active haven for symptomatic folks. That’s fine, that’s what it’s there for, but it was a great almost quasi social media site for me back in the early 2020s. I had one person say why do you still post if you aren’t struggling. Well one of the reasons I’m not struggling is BECAUSE I post.
Provides basic level of social interaction otherwise I get none except for other online forums
It’s the other Human beings who are walking same path as I do. I have problem maintaining real life relationship, but coming here when I’m at my lows helps me.
why its you of course i think you cheer me up when i see you post something
Guys, I was thinking, this forum is TONS better than the schizophrenia subreddit. I mean, the Reddit is so dicey, that when a post comes up on my feed I read what these people are posting and I feel so sad. They seem so lost and symptomatic compared to us. Even the most lost person I’ve ever seen stumble through here seems to have a much firmer grasp on reality than the majority of folks over there. I can’t figure out why that is, unless it’s because of the decent moderation we have here.
I know I’ve said it before but I thought I’d express my appreciation one more time here.
