Support for posters on this board

Hi all
I’ve really benefited from this forum during recent poor mental health and have found it to be supportive and kind.

Today there was a thread where someone was obviously struggling with debilitating anxiety. She received some pretty unkind replies over terminology and has since de registered. Not only is she now not able to access the support available on here but I also think her experience will prevent others from posting.

Do MH posts appear in the active list? Just wondering if that makes a difference, as people won’t respond unless actively going to the board.

Realise this is a thread about a thread so will prob be deleted soon?

Yes, this board appears in Active.

Over the past 2 years this board has gone downhill, the posters who respond can be quite unpleasant. It used to have several long running support threads for various conditions, I'm not sure why it changed so much.

That's a shame. I've noticed more posts get less replies, as it seems to have got busier (exploded) during covid.

Thanks @K00kiEe that’s helpful to know. I wonder if that leads to a pile on in some cases. Useful to know the board has gone downhill in the past 2 years too.

@vizlsapup that’s an interesting conundrum - busier but fewer replies. Wonder why that is.
