Hello September. I agree and I feel it is especially important (just My own opinion), that if people are not getting the support they need then someone needs to get to the point and just be straight up and tell the people not seeing a therapist or getting professional help to get the help they need. The consumers and participants of Psych Central are Usually not Psychlogists , therapists, or Drs., so I hope everyone trys to stay safe in their own recovery in not feeling pressured to diagnose or be someones support when they are not stable themselves. It is very hard at times to step back when someone is in need and tell a person at Psych Central I am sorry but you need to seek professional help, I can not help you at this time, because I am going through issues myself. It is nice to help but is nice to help yourself know when helping is not going to be a threat to your own recovery. There is nothing wrong in being honest and truthful if you are not stable enough to help someone else then send then to their own mental health professionals. Thank you again September for bringing this to the attention of the participants of Psych Central. Take care and good day. Soidhonia
