I guess you can just tell if someone is genuine or not.
Moses, Matterson. You get the feeling they're using it more for leverage than actual suffering.
What do you think?

No.... I dont think you "can just tell"
It takes a specialist to diagnose and the term MH covers a very broad range of conditions nowadays

When the overwhelming advice is 'talk to someone' 'share it' 'get it off yiur chest' if someone's struggling... To label anyone as scum or anything could be a fatal trigger for them...none of us know how others are really doing unless we know them personally and have talked with them

You could almost say some here are suffering some form of MH going by the way other members have affected them even when they're not here.
 
Coming here after The Paul Green news, this thread is a disgraceful indictment on this forum. The whole thread is full of platitudes about people should "speak up" and everyone is here to support....then one guy speaks up and says that he is not handling things and he is bullied and in fact ultimately bullied off the forum.

A group posters here have actually bullied someone who on a mental health forum confided that their mental health was very fragile. Continued that bullying until they got banned. Thats who you are, THAT kind of person. These people need to have a look at themselves. The posters who didnt step in and who lionise this group are no better.

And thats cool....if that is who you are..be who you are but dont embarrass yourself with the fake platitudes. This thread is a hot mess of hypocrisy.

Good post but I disagree with the comment about it being cool. It's not cool. It's hypocritical and messed up.

One other point I'd make is that the mods changed because one mod appeared to ban people way too easily. People are still getting banned.

It doesn't seem to be about banning people but about pathetic power struggles.

I can understand getting banned for stating something really disrespectful but being banned after being baited consistently doesn't still well with me.

Who got "bullied off the forum"?
 
There’s a great scheme you can get if you’re from nsw

Called ATAPS. You need a GP referral. I was on it for a few years when I was a bit lost about what to do with my life.

You essentially get about 10 sessions free or covered large part by Medicare to see a professional psychologist. Make sure you get a good psych as well as they’re not all good. It’s a relationship and they have to fit you and vice versa.

Here in Canberra they have one too but haven’t seen a psych so can’t tell you what’s it called. Anyway just my two cents

He would be one of my least trusted politicians in Australia,there is a reason his nickname is PorkBarilaro.He has had his snout in the trough for a long while and has tried to keep it there for even less work than he has been doing

He was also a Minister and should have been upholding standards. Having a relationship with a report in your office doesn't imo meet a suitable standard.
