There is actually no requirements to be on here. Many have MH issues, some have family or friends who have MH issues & want to find out more.

My issues have changed so much over my years here. I came here right in the middle of going through a trauma & a whole bunch of other stuff I was dealing with & several years here I finally left my bad marriage. During the trauma I was medicated to the point I could hardly function but I needed that then. I have horrible side effects to almost every psych med that exists so when I somewhat recovered & actually when I started living alone I stopped ALL psych meds & went eith natural omega 3 EPA to helo with depression. My MH was situational & when I got away from the bad marriage everything started to improve....then finding wonderful therapy & 2 years of intense group DBT work, I started to thrive again. I still have struggles but they arent anything meds can FIX, so I have to learn how to deal with them. One thing I learned in DBT is that anxiety & depression are normal responses to some things that happen in life & to take meds to numb our feelings keeps us from feelings thstwe really need to live.

No meds here
