Allegedly there are 150-200 active/daily posters on this forum. I’m grateful for all of the knowledge it’s given me about my mental health problems. I feel like I’m less likely to stop taking meds/do something stupid my being a part of this site.
The people here helped me rationalize what Iv been through and I can now say the voices were not real. Also listening to other people’s experiences helped me realize I had sz too
Oh, with my isolation, I feel less alone here… We share the same illness, so the others understand here… I cant share outside that I am sz, while I still am afraid and ashamed by this illness. I also connect cause me too was denying my meds before and the forum helps me taking them despite the side effects of them…
Plus the lounge section is very nice Always something to learn here .
I’ve become endeared to many of the posters here. I know you are all still aquaintences, but there’s a piece of my heart which considers most of you to be like my extended family.
This site has guided me through troubled waters while I was psychotic. I’m glad I stumbled on to this forum years ago and realized I’m not alone with my nutty affliction.
It helps me feel connected and accepted. I feel I can help people sometimes and when I need hugs I can get some. I helps me remember to stay on my meds even when I’m doing good and don’t feel like I need them. And I have friends here.
