RE: Mental Illness - How Millions are Scarred by this Devastating illness. With Your Help We Can Help the Sufferers!

in #steemit8 years ago

I've lived with mental problems, for as long as I can remember. Mostly depression though.

  • And while it might be a good idea for some, I'm pretty sure, that a website wouldn't have helped me at all.
    On the contrary actually. There are a lot of different sites, groups on facebook, and similar things, that are designed to "help" people, but generally speaking, they always end up feeding each others problems, while making themselves feel even worse about themselves.

So I probably won't be supporting this, mostly because I don't know who you are, and if you actually have some value to bring forth with what contributions you get. But also, because I don't really see a point to it.

Though, I wish you the best of luck, and sincerely do hope, that you can help someone.

(On a sidenote. - They aren't really "capitalist doctors" - They are socialist ones, when they get tax funds.)

Many thanks smokerscorner for your views. I wish I had access to a website at the time depression hit my friend and when I suffered. It would have avoided some terrible mistakes. I think knowledge be used to save lives.

That was why, I wrote "It might be good for some".
I'm deffinitely not the norm, not by a longshot. But I have spent time on various sites, forums and facebook groups, and my experience was, that they mostly tend to keep each other depressed, rather than giving actual help.

  • I do hope you got, or will get better though. Depression sucks, and it's not something I wish upon other people.
