Was there a timeline that made it important to get it in in such a haste?Imsure there's hundreds of more good points we could of came up with!
I liked the time description (cyber-time thing) which really helps me when I'm on the slow train. At a tribunal for an application for disability, my mother burst into tears saying that I was always good with numbers and that's the first thing that went. I kicked my mother under the table and proudly stated that my ability to function hadn't gone anywhere it's just really slow. Okay I'm rambling.
The point I would have liked to make was that it really helps people like myself who don't have access to such a large community. There still is stigma involved with mental health issues because it affects a persons behaviour which is the core of how people interact, plus the limited resources available. That we aren't just limited by mental or physical disabilities.
And that the site does help individuals. I'm testimony. The friendships, support, and information from this site added to the therapy and meds are helping me to cope, and thus affects my family and everyone else that they and I interact with.
Ahhh ... I'm just rambling.
