Tell us: What bought you to SANE?

Tell us: What bought you to SANE?

Hey everyone,

On the topic of Mental Health Month, a few of the gang here have been having some conversations around how people find out about SANE, advertising and what kind of places people heard about the forums.

We would love to hear what bought you to SANE?
Was it a flier in your doctors office, a Google search, maybe a referral from another program?

Did you go straight onto the forums, or another SANE service first before you decided to use the forums?

Re: Tell us: What bought you to SANE?

I was googling information on anxiety and the forums came up in my search. Pretty sure I posted straight away and haven’t left.

I came here via the One Door website quite a while back. Very glad I found it 🙂

Hi @Shaz51 Ruah MH told me about the Sane Support Forums in 2016.

So I registered then.

I cannot write much, having daily fatigue conditions + Dyslexia.

Text-based communication is challenging & not as effective for me.

The connections I have on here have been very helpful, & people on here have given me some great advice & suggestions.

At the end of May 2021 I was googling mental health supports or recovery and an advertisement for Sane popped up. I had never heard of Sane before so I joined and had a look around. It was 3 or 4 days before I worked out how to post a new discussion as it wasn’t very intuitive. I haven’t looked back. I had one small break after an upset with another user. I love Sane forums and I am online here everyday. I have made close connections here and it has alleviated loneliness. Long live the forums

@ArraDreaming Arra, that was a horrible time in my life and I can’t bring myself to write it down.

I remember the emotions but the memories are more like a series of photos.

Bits and pieces. A sentence here, a word there.

@Glisten

Sending love, it’s ok not to want to relive that time in your life. Sitting with you
