>I'm curious, how long has this site been up? How did this site start?
I'm not too sure... I think the main PsychoBabble (medications) board was the first one to get underway and then it just grew and the other boards were set up because people wanted to Babble about other stuff too. You can check through the archives and read the old posts if you like. They are all dated so you may be able to find the first posts.
I have found the boards really helpful with respect to feeling a whole heap less alone. Both with my mental health issues and just in general. I have been posting for over a year now and really feel like I have made lots of friends here who have listened to be Babble and been there for me in my ups and my downs.
I hope you feel welcome here and decide to hang around. Usually people feel a bit on the outside looking in to start with but after a while they get the hang of things and feel like they have friends here. The easiest way to get there is just to dive right on in and initiate threads and respond to other peoples.
I hope you like it here.
What sort of mental health issues are you wanting help with???
