where can I post if I'm mentally ill and want to talk to other mentally ill people? I don’t wanna constantly make my issues everyone’s problem by posting in a main forum regularly but I do wanna talk to other people about em. And I also wanna help other people through their shit as well. So some direction where it wouldn’t be out of place to talk about such things would be nice. Thanks!

  • 7cups.com has free lightly trained peer counseling. I audited a bunch of their courses to become a better listener and they are ok. I dunno how helpful it will be but it’s folks who want to listen to you 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I’d say 4chan, but you want it helpful so maybe not.

    In 1913, Freud wrote to Jung: It is a convention among us analysts that none of us need feel ashamed of his own neurosis. www.loc.gov/exhibits/freud/ex/131.html For Freud, the difference between a “normal” person and a neurotic is not a difference in kind, but a difference in degree. He argued that the same conflicts exist in both; the question is merely whether those conflicts have become pathogenic (disease-causing) and how the person defends against them.

    There are some specific communities, depending on what you’ve got going on. A quick search says there are a few bipolar communities, there are some autism communities, adhd, and I’m sure there are many others, all on Lemmy. Similarly, several have meme communities that at a minimum give the occasional feeling of “oh hey, it’s not just me” and sometimes that’s really nice.

    Hexbears neurodiverse comm or the disabled megathread would be a good start.
