Hello Bipolar group members!
I put out an idea about the possible creation of a subforum here that would be a special place to discuss and share helpful info, suggestions, and experiences about either life off of bipolar medications, and/or struggles going off and staying off them, etc. I've seen such subforums on other mental health online forum websites. I even recall a couple members here suggesting such a thing, in the past.
I know some would benefit from such a subforum, and for others it may put what are occasionally triggering (or bad influence) posts away from the main forum. I received positive feedback from members Shoe and bluebicycle. Bluebicycle even suggested a good potential name "Bipolar medication discontinuations". Anyone like this idea?
If you do, please chime in. If there is enough interest, I can ask for it to be set up. I, personally, would hope such a subforum would be used for positive (not judgement), though I think statements of concern would be OK in such a place. I'd also hope it wouldn't be used for medication demonization. Just my view.
I originally thought the above-mentioned might have been a thread in the current "Bipolar Treatments" subforum, but perhaps it would get lost there. Does this topic deserve its own subforum? Or own forum in the main forum index of the PC website?
