• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I've determined that big forums give me social anxiety. You always have to worry whether you will upset people you don't anticipate the beliefs of, and have to worry whether you are breaking a forum rule when you post. You can always pray that the staff will understand you and be gentle when handing out any infractions if necessary, but it's dangerous to think of yourself as having an upper hand when it comes to rules too.

I am not talking about the rules of this forum necessarily, just the rules of big forums in general.

Also, I have the annoying habit of keeping a forum up to date on even the smallest things about me.

And that's one of the reasons why we all love you. :)

I have no filter either I never know when my bluntness is being taken as offense or when I'm being too personal that it makes others unconfortable.

In my case it's the opposite, I feel better talking to people online. I get very nervous about having to talk to someone else face to face, not even in church I can ask for counselling/advice, when I try the words come out different than I think. In fact, I started dating by accident, I had a cupid, there are some issues that I can not even talk to my girlfriend face to face or I have trouble talking about, but I can speak naturally by the cell phone (text menssage).
