How did you find Psych Central?

An obvious question, but no one seems to have asked it for a while.

I was googling questions about thearpy and just about all of the links were from psych central so after awhile I decided to join in and see what you all were up to!

I was looking up transference trying to make sense of the crazyness going on in my head

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

still trying to make sense of it now

I was looking for Apps dealing with anxiety and depression.I found the eCBT App,and liked it.I discovered later through the reviews that Psyc Central had a web site.

I was on a break from therapy but still talking to T in my head. So I started reading about transference.

Apparently, I signed up when I started therapy the second time back in 2009, but never posted. I came back when I was trying to figure out my feelings for my current T. Glad I did.

must have been through a google search but i don't remember what i was searching

I was looking up articles on depression (because there just aren't enough of those anyway ) when I came across PC.

I was looking up OCD on the tapatalk app. And now here I am!

I knew Peaches from another board and she recommended it to me. Thank you again, Peaches!!

I kept getting linked to here from all the obsessive Google searches I was doing about the therapy process! After reading for a while I decided to join, and I'm SO glad I did.

I had just had one of the worst days of my life & was devastated, living in a hotel with one suitcase, and had 1 day to find an apartment and move before I was homeless... and I couldn't reach anyone, even my T. I went out and found a new apartment and when I got home my head was just spinning. I think I googled "why isn't my therapist calling me back" and got this site. Thank goodness! I remember being really impressed by the emotional quality of the people here and how supportive everyone seemed. I really needed that then. I'm so grateful I happened on here!

I googled, "I hate my therapist." It brought me right here!

I can't remember. It was right before my last hospitalization, so it could have been just about anything

Edit:
I was probably looking for information regarding depression and suicide, because I was super depressed

I don't remember either. I would guess I was doing research on bipolar disorder and stumbled across it that way.

I believe I was searching for something about anxiety back in 09, found it here and registered with the intent to comment but never did. I forgot about this site then until this past summer when I started therapy and was searching for something about *that*, rediscovered PC and actually decided to participate.

I stumbled across it looking into my recent BipolarI diagnosis . Sure glad I found it

You see all that written above. The EXACT same reason lol haha.. is how I found out about Psychcentral.. i started in the ask advice section though, not the forum but, hardly anyone responds their so eventually I joined the forum.

I believe I had just called my T for the first time and left her a hysterical voicemail and then told her not to call my back. THEN I was freaking out that she would think I was nuts/a disaster b/c of my voicemail so I think I googled "calling therapist and having a breakdown" or something like that.

I think I was googling depression/therapy/bipolar/suicide and kept getting referred back here. I'm so glad I did!

A friend pointed it out to me. I haven't told him I joined because I don't want to be judged in my real life for my posts. Shhh....

If only I could remember.

I googled the opposite of that. and that actually took me to psych links forum. While there, I got lectured by one of the moderators because someone said their mother was a narcassist and in my response, I referred to the mom as a narcassist. I was lectured about not diagnosing people. ? Some one else on that forum mentioned this one, so I started lurking over here. I didn't join for a long time because of the psych links experience.

I googled 'I love my therapist' for many months, getting nothing, and finally came across a blog post on psych central. It was talking more about romantic love, which wasn't relevant to me, but I read through the 80 something comments at the bottom just in case. One of them referred to the romantic subforum, and from there, I found my way to the main psychotherapy forum. I remember the relief of that day well. I had been very lonely for many months. And suddenly my screen was filled with others who felt the same.

Now I find out that I could have saved myself months of loneliness if only I had googled 'hate' instead of 'love'!!

Googling, "touch in therapy" and "hugs in therapy". This is the only place I've found where real people talk about these things.
