I’m curious to know what other “mental health” forums others belong to.
Besides schizophrenia.com I belong to the socialanxietysupport.com forum. It’s pretty good. It’s larger than this forum, but I don’t think the site is as nice and it’s certainly not run as well.
Hearing voices network. What is that? My pdoc told me to search the net for other people hearing voices. I wanted to attend a support group but they had nothing to offer me.
Oh, voice hearers, I found you guys on here already. Hmmm…maybe that was her way to again say I have sz…??
Did you find the site? Was it Ellen Saks book that promoted the group…I can’t recall. I liked it because it’s a movement toward self acceptance and away from stigma. It ultimately wasn’t enough for me, though. This forum is by far the most lively and well-run, and supportive, of the few others I checked-out.
Do you have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, @Comatose? If your doctor just beats around the bush that’s not very helpful. I would seek some clear answers if I were you.
Back in 2014 I was on another mental health forum, but I don’t remember what it was called. I’m not on my Kindle anymore. I did get a new Kindle. I need to register it.
I have schizophreniform diagnose from hospital 6 years ago. My pdoc has not said it out loud even once. She just points at different directions and tells me to attend that informational meeting and this is to be searched on internet.
I have a new pdoc now who I see next week.
I found one unfinished voice hearing site. Lots of broken links and very much unfinished. Looked abandoned.
I go to a large christian forums site that has a section for depression and schizophrenia. The schizophrenia section of it is pretty dead though. There are some people on the depression section though. I go to other parts of the site as well. I also have a reddit account, but I mostly use it for going to the suicidewatch section. I’m tired of thinking about suicide every day for four years. I don’t even know why I want to commit suicide. I think it’s because inwardly I just feel so much shame and self loathing, but I’m not really sure.
