I just read the following. Now I am concerned.
This was posted by Doc John (in General Chat):
"Regardless of whatever happens with the Psych Central Forums, please know that there'll always be online mental health communities available, even if this one isn't here in the future. I don't know what the future holds, but I'll do my best to keep you informed as things happen... I will be here for at least a year, and even if my relationship with Healthline ends, I may well stick around. The community means as much to me as it does to you and I want to ensure it has a safe and fruitful future!"
Well, if Healthline continues the PC forum in some way, great. If not ("even if this one isn't here in the future"), I haven't found any other viable mental health forums online, none at all.
I'm also wondering when we'll see the changes that are going to take place. I have been on forums that, with no warning, completely switched the format, or closed, altogether. I sure hope that doesn't happen here.
I'm working on being hopeful (i.e., telling myself that I do not see the handwriting on the wall  ) and on trusting that the universe recognizes the tremendous importance of a solid online mental health support forum.
