Mental Health and Taboo topics in OUR community

You know, I would LOVE to use whatever venue we come up with as a research topic.

I need ya'll to help get me motivated to get my butt in gear and get back to school. I've found a program that matches what I want to do, but that first step is always the hardest.

Please do it. I am in school now and it is very rewarding. Start with a small step....like take the GRE (or whatever). Continue to move in small steps. You will gain momentum. Then before you know it, you will be on GC farting around because you dont want to do any studying.

Its possible. If I am doing it, its possible.

Since this forum is in the AKA Ave. and the Moderators support the comments made here:

I want to make this place a "safe zone" for anyone who feels so empowered to talk freely. Many of us have made ourselves vulnerable here, but that fact is outweighed by COMMUNICATION...

Ground rules are: there is no judgment. If one has to judge, send a PM and do it. Blasting is uncool in this thread.

People can provide what worked for them and support for one another. That is what this thread is all about.

If you have some real issues you need to discuss with professionals, and their advice is for only for the purposes of entertainment, PM them. In no way should it be used as a substitution for real treatment options.

Now, there is at least one professional on this thread willing to accept PMs. Please read the thread because it is not my place to single them out.

Rules are subject to change without notice.

Please list to say you agree to these rules. If you don't agree to these rules, we just won't expect your participation and we can remove your posts. I am just protecting folks here...

Pretty good site...

It is just a starting point for those who want to pursue their own research...

I agree

Oh, what you said about substitution. PLEASE seek professional help and do not use this thread a substitute for that.

That's why I made the comment about not expecting everyone to share their story earlier.
