This Web site seems to suggest that support of like-minded people is good and valuable.

I've seen it go both ways. Been in 3D support groups that were very helpful and, well, supportive. Been in others that each week it seemed like members were playing a game trying to have more/worse symptoms than others.
Have seen the same thing with on-line communities. Some - like PC  - are warm and supportive. Been to some others that turned into snakepits of people trying to trigger on another or try to impress others with how bad off they were.

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
