What do you like about psychforums?

It was difficult to pick just one for my vote on the poll because all of those seem to be the reasons why I like this forum.

I think everyone on here has appeared to be very nice and helpful and I like the way the forum is run in general.

i cant really vote just for one because , like another person said, i have more than one reason.

to help others. (i have yet to do that tho)

for help for me

and for education purposes

its a great site....just wonderful!!!

There's many things I like about this forum.

A chance to get some help and opinions.

A chance to share and realize that I'm not unique.

A chance to share experiences and possibly help someone else.

It's quite an eye opener to learn about all this mental health stuff.

Thanks for taking the time and making the effort to make this all possible, It's a lifeline.

One of the things I like about this site is that I get to try and help others!

As a person dealing with delusional disorder and paranoia the last 10 years or so, I use the forum to glimpse the point of view of the other person.the one dealing with me, and to confirm that much of my "thought" or delusions are not real. After the third diagnosis of DD I began to have insight, and looked at the forum a couple of years ago. Seeing the descriptions of not just symptoms exactly like mine, but exact fears- husband cheating, persecution by others, people entering house and taking things, etc. lconfirms for me when I'm doubting it's me, that it is, in fact me. This does not make the problem go away, however.

I wish I could go the the forum for support. The DD forum is used by spouses to vent their frustrations, and often their sense of hopelessness, and looking at it has often sent me into suicidal thinking and more. It's also painful, but I reach for it when I'm going crazy with feelings of betrayal, loss and extreme fear. I'm hope to find areas of the forum that feel better for people like me.

Yes... it's hard to just put one down when you see atleast three.

Seeing the people who commented, I can't just pick on to "click on" reply.

Everyone is hoping this place will help them. Excellent!

For I have been in fire and into fight... a man with key to help psche patients and one who saw a locked door inone, later...5 years working and I thought that a closed door would never scare me.

IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING! No where to go.

These threads are great! You don't need to see that locking door!

One thing that I can't stop inside is to help those in need.

Even that locked door couldn't do that. 5 years part time in pysche with a key...now... there to see that door...everytime I thought someonewas scared of it and told thiem.. no fear...I was corrected...

How many times do you find a man who was a worker and patient, too. What this person could learn?

And, what he could give...

THe five years still are in me...

Help them!

Now, you have seen both sides of the coin and was scared to death, only one thing remained?

Help them.

And, that is what I am here for!

really just Getting advice Helping others is why i come here.

i also like this forum for many reasons. a lot of the post are very funny also finding there are people kinda like me is cool too.

i chose 'supportive atmosphere' cos i think this is the only forum ive ever found that hasnt asked me to ###$ off just cos of who i am

I come here to give and get support. It is good to know that if you are feeling down there is somewhere you can go and know that you will have somebody to talk to. It also feel's great to know that you are helping other people with there problem's. Sometime's it even help's me to be happy when I know I have helped somebody else. I love being part of such a supportive environment and knowing that I alway's have somewhere to turn.

Take care,
Kayty
