• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Where? Genuinely where? I've been waiting on therapy referrals for months now with zero updates. Every time I see my PCP we send out a referral that never gets answered. Even sites like psychologytoday barely respond to you and most of the therapists listed aren't taking in new patients. Not to mention it takes so much effort and time just to find one therapist that may or may not even be right for you. The only resources I have for the mean time are crisis lines and all they do is repeat scripted wishy washy nonsense that make me feel worse

I need HELP NOW!!! I'm sick of hearing about how professional help is just a call away. It's not the case at all

I feel your frustration and you're right- it's bullshit.

Help is just a call away! (And three appointments, and a referral, and a wait list, and here's the perfect medication for you! But it's not covered and this one IS but it's pretty crappy, and speaking of crap, you wont be able to. Enjoy!)

Oh, I want to join this rant!


Usually I'm incredibly exhausted and even a phonecall would take me forever to actually accomplish. Yet on my very best day I called 20 therapists to secure a spot. Of course none of them have place! Of course leaving a voicemail is useless, even if they claim they'll get back to you - they won't.

Even the mental help hotline was useless.
Me: "I'm have strong suicidal thoughts"
Them: "I can't help you"
Me: "Can you not even tell me another number to call or a place to go?"
Them: "No."

The medical system is a braindead machine. I fucking hate it. How am I even supposed to navigate these endless doctor visits and referals when I'm constantly exhausted and even shopping & cooking is a near impossible task?

Better to just lie down and die already.

"Seek help" is a just a way for people to forgo our social obligation to uplift the most vulnerable members of society. People are solipsistic and self-centered, especially in the United States, and they find it to be too difficult to extend compassion to 'thought criminals' (which is basically how people view the so-called "mentally ill").
