Hi my name is Tessa, I don’t really know how this works but I’m excited to be here. I’ve been feeling very alone in my multiple personalities and I hope this will help me feel comfortable to talk about these problems. I’m pretty new on being on the iPad I am not very experienced at using it so excuse me if I make A lot of errors at first. I use the voice mostly because it helps me to think better. Right now I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell my story so if you tell me what is usual I’d be happy to accommodate.

Hi, I’m JohnDoe20

I’m a moderator on The Haven and I live in the UK, I’m currently studying psychology at university. Which is cool! I suppose.

I am diagnosed with Asperger’s, depression and anxiety. My primarily concern though would be the emotional dysregulation from the Aspergers, otherwise that diagnosis would feel redundant. Probably a whole bunch of other stuff which is unlikely to be recognised.

I would say I am pretty knowledgeable about mental well-being/distress from personal experience and otherwise, so I am always open to listening if people want a chat!

Hi I'm Art. Glad to be here and meet everyone. Always looking for more opportunity to relate with others and make positive acquaintances and friends.

[TheWell]

My name is CANDC and I am a moderator on Psych Central. Nice to meet you all.

To answer your question you can tell your story if you want or just whatever you feel comfortable. There is a wide range of purposes that draw people to Psych Central. If anyone asked for advice on what to say I would say "just be yourself".

Welcome bizi. Our chat rooms are accessible when I think you have 5 posts or more. Someone correct me if the number is different.

The chat room entry is on a bar on the bottom of the screen to the right entitled aptly named "Chat Rooms" . When you open it up it tells you how many people are in each room. There are fewer people active in chat than there used to be. Maybe TheHaven people will help liven up the chat here.

There are modified discussions. I do one Thursdays at 8PM. It is entitled Depression, Anxiety and Grief and Loss support room. There are other moderated chats and a Q&A listed in the Calendar but the calendar only lists the sessions after you can access the chat rooms.

Hope that helps. CANDC

I'm currently in an IOP while I recover from past trauma to get me well on my way to my goal of running a full-scale multi-media studio made specifically to introduce non-eurocentric, kinder, and more compassionate perspectives into the media. I am a first-generation American and love to have discussions on the psychology/neurology behind mental illness, specifically neuroplasticity. I enjoy learning things so feel free to spread the education!

Glad to meet you Grape. My name is CANDC. You sound like you have a lot on your plate running a business. I am interested in mindfulness and neuroplasticity and would be glad to hear from you here in the forums or by sending a personal message (PM). There may be a 3 post minimum to send a pm so feel free to reply to other's posts or make your own threads. You could even start one on neuroplasticity!

Fun facts: I have two little white doggos that I adore, I live in Manhattan NYC, I play the ukulele, and my little sister and I have the same birthday 5 years apart.

So happy to be here!!

Nice to meet you Zen. I would love to see your doggos. You can post pics in the Albums if you want to include pictures. You can create one here by the control panel on the left side of this page https://forums.psychcentral.com/private.php
Under Networking there is a link to Pictures and Albums.

If anyone wants to change their settings there is a broad range of controls to fine tune your Psych Central experience on that page linked above.
