This has been soo incredibly helpful as of late. I’ve been a bit manic and hyper social and I’ve found people that I can connect to on a level at which I hadn’t before.

And it’s about my mental illness, something that does dictate a big portion of my life. 

It gives me an opportunity to discuss my concerns to reality check, talk about coping strategies and most importantly it gives me an opportunity to socialise with someone who might want to communicate in the same type of way, and about the same things.

I prefer this to being in a psych-ward and talking to someone there, as it gives me an opportunity to be free about my illness without the fear of having to be re-evaluated/re-admitted.

I never allow myself to define what exactly my symptoms are, as I don’t want to think about them, but having someone to talk to gives me an opportunity to talk to myself through them and really see what my condition is.

Anyways, this has helped me. I hope it could help someone else.
