As many other members of WG have suggested, there needs to be a dedicated thread to supporting, uplifting, providing positive feedback and advice, and offering general guidance to forum members who may not know where else to turn. You can talk about what is going on in your life with people who understand what it's like to face mental health difficulties and everything that goes alongside them. We have professionals on this forum, such as @Fleet Leader Fenaker @Kerkovian @Tejas and @Psychiatrist, who are qualified to discuss serious issues such as thoughts of suicide and other forms of self-harm with individuals needing an outlet. Having an open dialogue may prove effective and therapeutic to people who may not have any other options. I'm also a mental health advocate and have known many people who have taken their lives during my time in the military; I can also offer assistance.

This thread is meant to be a safe place and a judgment-free zone. Keep all politics, shit posts, trolling, and other negative posts far from here.

Just so we're clear the users mentioned as professionals in this post don't specialize in psychiatry. They're either in the medical field or pursuing a career in the same, so they tend to know a thing or two about mental health. So if you're seeking help and making a thread about it, they or the other members cannot provide you professional help. Still, if you just need an ear to share your issues regardless of how bad or personal they are, the forum will always be ready to give you a helping hand.

Rest in peace. It's saddening to see young people take their own lives. I often wondered what could have prevented such tragedy, I personally have contact to a family who's teen son ended his own life not that long ago. Everyone keeps asking if they could have prevented it (me included). It is haunting even if you're not related. So I wish the family all the strength in the world and pls don't start blaming yourselves !
I'll reply to this here:
We can try to make the world a bit better.
Create healthier social environments, with less inequality and less discrimination.
This may not help everyone.
But please don't think that when you're struggling with mental health that it's all your fault.
The surrounding factors play a big role in people's mental health.

Depression can really lead you into suicidal intent. It can be mild to severe in intensity.
Milder forms may manifest as anger, sadness, inability to concentrate, falling grades, decreasing apetitite. Milder forms are difficult to predict, only your near ones living with you day by day can experience the change in you. Talk about your difficulties wirh your family, freinds nearby.Its not good to binge on video games or having prolongated duscussions on forums that wont lead to nowhere. This activity wont help your cause. I wont recommend it.
Our brain like rewards. Engage your mind with small rewards like cooking/eating your favourite food, playing sports, sightseeing the nature, studing books/inspirational books. This activities will elevate your mood hormones and you will feel better in the long run.
Severe depression may manifest as insomnia, anorexia, feeling guilty, always wanting to cry, like to remain closed in a room, and even suicidal thoughts. These are the red flags that determine you need immediate medical help.

I have no problem with that kind of threads but beware.

People here can tell us their problems, can seek advice or just share experience. It's obviously possible. If someone life is better sharing stuff here and talking, we would be glad to help him.

But the forum and the mod team disagree about the professional part of the deal :

- You cannot, and we are not saying it lightly, use your titles, jobs, expertise, or anything to give advice, give "answers" or guide people.

If you are a medecine student, a real doctor, a psychologist, psychiatrist etc you cant use that to "practice" here.
I don't want to see someone saying stuff like : if you have that problem take that drug it will help you.
I don't want to see someone saying : I am a psychologist, i know your problem, so do that or that, or make that work on yourself etc.

We are in forum, there is no contracts here, no responsabilities, anonymity, no real proof that you have indeed the expertise you're saying you have, people here are often youngs and impressionable etc.

Helping people as an expert needs a real focus, time, responsability etc. It's not something you're doing browsing WG on the cabinets.

So i'm really asking you to be cautious with this kind of thing.

Sorry to ruin the mood and once again helping people is not a bad thing.

If you have a question and if you're not sure of something you can obviously ask the team anything.

I mean:
What am I supposed to do when I cannot physically do the things in want to do and make me happy?
How am I supposed to get those endorphins?
Before ruling in depression with these questionairre survey, you may need to do actual blood test (general work up) like for Blood sugar, thyroid function test, Liver function test.
