I get what you're saying, but there would be guidelines in place for that corner to keep everyone safe. Mental health inclusion ought to exist everywhere, and right now this forum doesn't have it, which is a shame.
Right — there are plenty of forceful characters around here.
Wait, what? Having a personality disorder doesn't automatically make someone dangerous. I live with one, and it sounds like you're picturing antisocial personality disorder (psychopathy), yet plenty of other personality disorders stem from serious trauma. I get that this is how you see it, and honestly your post just shows exactly why a mental health corner is necessary. You've lumped every personality disorder together without really knowing anything about them. Still, that's fine. You're strong minded.
This is just an idea I put in the suggestions section; the decision isn't mine. Still, I think I should speak up for those dealing with mental health issues, since posting in an area full of forceful personalities who jump to conclusions without grasping the thinking behind them doesn't always feel safe to me. I hope that clears up my reason for proposing it.
That's exactly right. It's an extremely challenging disorder to manage, address, and recover from.
I think it's wonderful, and over in the suggestion area I shared some information hoping it would be useful to you. Your good intentions came through, and I said so. It really is a lovely idea, and plainly a sincere one.
I don't know whether you work in a clinical role......Although certain fundamental personality characteristics are mentioned in this thread, those characteristics differ depending on which dx is being discussed. Every D/O has its own highly specific criteria. From the perspective of someone without clinical training, or even someone who lives with one of these conditions, what's written here might come across as negative in this setting, whether or not that was the intention, even with the broad framing. That's exactly why the internet, or spaces that aren't focused on this cause, might not be the right fit.
Those broad-brush portrayals irritate me too. When it comes to people who genuinely have Schizophrenia, violent conduct has historically been very uncommon to minimal (Psychosis is a separate matter). With Bipolar (regardless of which cycle) and BPD, harm toward other people generally does not happen (draining, sure, that can happen). The greater risk they carry is toward themselves, especially through recklessness. That said, any individual can become violent, whether they have a diagnosis or not.
The name of this forum makes the main focus fairly obvious: GLP-1s should be at the center of most topics and content. That naturally covers conversations about handling side effects, various conditions, and broader health and wellness matters while using GLP-1s, because these medications have an ever-expanding range of effects on many parts of life, well beyond blood sugar control and losing weight.
