I take it you're unaware of what has occurred. So I will explain.

Eduardo above is this (possible) Australian guy called James, who trolls shitloads of forums. Go on anxietyforum.net/forum right now to see the mess he has made since 2021. That's all his doing.

This is the SOLE reason he is here. Just registered to post rubbish for to gain a childish reaction.

Even if he's not Australian, it doesn't matter. The guy is lame. He uploads these bizarre YouTube videos pretending to be me in my town, and so on.

I was not aware of this and I am finding it all a bit confusing. I am afraid the trolls will always be with us. Sad! Thanks for the post.

Ok i am going back on a internet hunt to find a good mental health forum. For about 6 months i have been looking for 2 different types of forums with no "luck". I hope to bag 1 type of forum by the end of today, but we'll see...

If i don't ask for my account here to be closed i hope to see a response to this thread (in general) in less than a month....

This is a good responsive group. If you feel comfortable in elaborating on your current issues, I’m certain you’ll see a good response

Good responsive group? There are threads that were created months ago that have 1 like button press and no responses. And threads that get started by somebody that doesn't seem to care about their problem, like a certain dog that has to be taken care of.

I have been flip flopping around a couple of thread ideas, 0ne would be loooong and will probably taked me 2 or 3 posts to complete. The other is asking members/people to ask me things, anything really. But waiting for a like button press or response for a month or longer would probably make me forget i made the thread.

Ok i will make a choice and make a thread sometime today....

I have been trying to reply to threads and posts in this forum but i am stupid. I spent over an hour tapping and trying to talk about and ask about 1 thread that was started yesterday. I almost replied with "sorry i can't help you".

I still am thinking i almost need to do a sorry reply to show i or somebody read that thread. I understand anxiety and the 0 to infinity things that can happen. But with my almost empty brain can barely help me tap out this post... this post alone has taken me 20 minutes to think about and tap out...

If you insist in calling yourself stupid then there is not a lot that can be done. You do write posts but seem to think no one reads them. That is not true. Many folk can't put their thoughts into words, so they read the posts and maybe get some useful advice. 'Almost empty brain'. This is all about lack of self worth. Self fulfilling prophesy. Stop concerning yourself about how many replies you get and concentrate on your own ability to write posts. You do and can. I don't bother myself about who reads my posts or not. 'Cast your bread upon the waters' and just do the best you can, with love and understanding.

I'm not sure what or if anything about replies to my threads or posts i have said matters to me about an "active" forum. My thinking is more about seeing/having an online community. And when a "community" don't talk much can i consider it a community? A forum because it's online is "quiet" means to me, nobody is there anymore. Like, an alcoholic who likes to go to bars to drink and talk with other alcoholics, but if he goes to a bar and there's no alcohol or other people inside, what should he do? Go in and sit down and hope alcohol or somebody shows up?

And you are kind of over-the-top about me calling myself dumb/stupid, why? Is it a forum rule? I can "try" to not call myself those things if you want/need me too.

Forums aren't a big deal to me any longer. I may be resigning from them soon. I do receive a reply from time to time, but the activity has declined for a long time due to the likes of X. It ends up feeling like the urge to post at all just isn't there. Not to mention how people argue about meaningless crap like pop stars, games, movies, and politics. Why not get laid instead?

Personally, I'm not a fan of X and Facebook, or even platforms like Discord. These have all replaced the standard BBS.

Message boards have a neater interface. But you either get mods being too useless or too strict (depending on the forum you're visiting). Although I suspect most old forums are still around in some capacity, merely because the owner (who has likely sailed on) has some nostalgic attachment issue and cannot pull the plug. So nerds just log in and post utter shite, or you encounter trolls.

But it is what it is.

@Stegosaurus the everything now mind set has taken over. I recently re-discovered another forum and what made/makes it good, old people. We have "patience" and don't want or need instant replies. In that forum threads have thousands of pages and typically an idea or question gets asked and within a few hours or a day at most get a reply.

That forum was created around 2010 or so. I became a member in 2013 and "re-discovered" it again. My health, especially mental stuff has "come back" to me.

But i need to "talk" to people and on at least a day to day "talk" a week to week or no response "talk" is a nightmare to me, and the red forum thing is another nightmare.

I'm a weirdo, i want to "talk" with people online but not on an instant pace. And that other forum is a hobby one so my needing to talk about mental or general health stuff is not allowed, for alot of reasons.

I'm still looking for a good mental health forum but i am trying to be "active" in this one to see if i can shake to tree to get activity to happen in this one.
