It's true the owner of the personal chat thread needs support, but eventually it's hard to follow the whole point of the thread. If it has a specific topic, the topic can continue to be commented on, but if it turns into "Well, today I feel good...yada yada" for a specific thread owner, then that stuff, in my opinion, should rather be put in the Bipolar Check-In thread, which I really like.
How have you made progress, in terms of dealing with stress, anxiety, or controlling mood episodes, since the worst of your illness struck?

I used to be on a forum like what you just described.
on that forum though, it was small, and everyone knew each other- so though I didn't really like the idea, it sort of made sense because it made it easy for the other members to check in on a certain member.
it is also why I left though. the limitation got a little to much for me and I'm not sure that this forum would be good for it- A because their's just so many users (so their'd be probably the same amount of threads in the end anyway), and new users would have to read whole entire multipage threads just to get to know a single person and their story
