Yes, in my experience few people participate on such threads outside of the OP. I think they find the writing of the thread therapeutic in its own way, and as a self-help support community, that seems in keeping with our mission.
But I do agree, if a particular forum became overwhelmed with such threads, we'd likely have to address the issue again in more depth... and would likely just create a sub-forum for such members. Thanks again. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

I skip over those also. Sure people are free to do this if they want, but its so much easier to find people’s comments that interest or can help with ones own situation if people post under specific threads.
I almost stopped by saying that but I want to disagree with the philosophy that there should be no attempt to create any kind of order on the forums. The reason I say that is ironically what some people use as an example of why there should be no suggestions like the one Bird Dancer made, and that is this: sometimes many of us feel very unwell and it is good to be able to find posts that will help us or just make us feel better, but that is harder to do if relevant information is buried in personal threads. See, I get it , Bird Dancer.

I get it too, something happened on another forum which made some of us feel more unwell. Thanks BirdDancer for bringing this up. I also see the other side of it though re my other post in this thread. (more rules and restrictions can feel punitive in some cases for some of us who genuinely try to be supportive.). I hope I haven’t said anything “wrong” I personally wouldn’t ever have thought of starting a personal journal thread in an open forum. (and much less carrying it on for pages) (no matter how many others there were).I understand the worry the situation could get out of “control” though. Hugs and respect I agree with all those who appreciate you BirdDancer

Given this particular type of forum, being a mental health forum, I think people need to be tolerant of each other's process and personal paths. Some people may need more of a journal like thread and may not think twice on it, and others may not like seeing those types of threads. To each their own, and I think we need to respect that we all have a different type of process, a different approach and different ways of processing our emotions. This is an open public forum, and tolerance and respect for one another should be in the forefront, I think, in all of our minds with regards to each other. I don't see too many of these types of threads around, only once in a while.

There are more of thesepersonal threads than is obvious,because sometimes people don’t name the thread by their screen name.
Having a separate section for them would help. __________________ Bipolar 2 with anxious distress mixed states & rapid cycling under severe stress tegretol 200 mg wellbutrin 75 mg, cut in half or higher dose as needed Regular aerobic exercise SKILLSET/KNOWLEDGE BASE: Family Medical Advocate Masters in Library Science Multiple Subject Teaching Credential-15 yrs in public schools |
