There's a Mental Health Forum, on NT. Depression, PTSD, etc are there. It is listed as a sister site to PC and vice versa!

Have you posted, over there, yet?

And here, in PC, there's the Chronic Illness Section...it's at the bottom...

I was traumatized by a scary Youtube video back in March (many psychological things could have lead up to that point), and today I believe I have just diagnosed myself with Fibromyalgia. It's taken a lot of time, effort, and questions to get to this point. With persistence and lots of Google searches, I am 99.99% positive I fit the symptoms, and have an appointment with a Neurologist soon.

I recently saw my family doctor because nerve symptoms started to make themselves more and more apparent to me in the past week. Over the past year I've experienced anxiety, panic attacks, racing heartrates, numb face, fatigue, chills, sensitivities, and muscle spasms, it's been Hell. He had difficulties diagnosing me, and said that I should see a Psychiatrist or a Neurologist, adding that "the two kind of mesh". This is troubling, because I was nearly convinced that I needed to see a Psychiatrist as well, everyone around me was pressuring me into this thought as well. It is such a sad feeling to feel.

I have noticed some people in the PTSD forum (and all across PC) suggesting concerns related to an over-sensitivity to noises and lights, and an unknown anxiety. I feel that these people might be running around completely unaware of what is really going on. Having a NeuroTalk area somewhere within PC could be the launchpad some people need. I really could have used it.
