could there be another topic for mental health..i find it a bit confusing posting in feeling depressed

[ZippiBabes]

..tho it seems at the moment the best place

but it does sometimes seem that because of the nature of the topic it is more about being depressed than other mental health issues

some people have different diagnosis and this topic tends to be more about depression and pnd

understandably as those are more common

but there are other mental health issues which i think could be ready for their own board

as i am bipolar I am not necessarily depressed but do have issues

and there are things in the news and mental health interests whoich could be on their own board

and did we ever get those links

oh shite i meant to post this in site stuff

[ZippiBabes]

oh yes that is a good example

i find that even if i am depressed it is different from for eg pnd which tho awful is not hopefully a life time condition

and in feeling depressed with all good intentions posters sometimes get the wromng end of the stick

self harm is another example too

borderline personality disorder and scizophrenia too

Yes think that would be really good idea. My dad has just been diagnosed as bipolar & I'd like to learn more.

it was when i posted this that i particulary though about it again

i wasn't really depressed as such i was just felling very weird and scared

and i recovered about 48 hours after which made me look like i was a fraud so i think a different place would be good

here

if i post in feeling depressed and then sound like i am having a laugh elesewhwere people find it odd and i feel uncomfortable

and also there have been a lot more bipolar threads lately

i think it would be helpful tho i appreciate a bipolar board is probably just too selfish lol

i am clearly suffering from delusions of grandeur lol
