Overall Good
February 19, 2023

I've been coming to these rooms for awhile now. For the most part the chatters are helpful and friendly. They have good advice/support. However, there are chatters that join the rooms as some sort of online playground and just attack chatters or are completely random. I think its still worth using this website though from all the help i've received since i first joined.

It's a joke made for people just wanting a place to fit in and ask advice, only to be greeted by 2 year old adults.

My dad passed away a while back, I went to this website, the mods just made me feel worse.

Bunch of tools
April 5, 2023

The mods and regular users are just a bunch of tools. They all serve one unhealthy purpose, depending upon another in different ways. It's a rats' nest of smaller echo chambers, where not even helpful discourse can illuminate through. You would be remissed to visit this website.

SO NOT HEALTHFUL
April 19, 2024

It is hard to find a place (on the fly) to vent about being sad or angry or feeling worthless, whatever. I thought I had an avenue to just rant and share with people like me (sad and confused, etc.) on Healthful. However, after sharing things when the CEO of Healthful is logged on, if his/her rants aren't acknowledged immediately, ya get kicked off and rejected from ever returning to the site. I know this because I am kicked out from Healthful. Tonight, one person defended guestxxx (which is me) by saying xxx didn't say anything against the rules. And another person said 'guestxxx... you are about to get kicked out.'

I even paid the $237 for the coffee cup to try to keep talking to the folks I sort of felt, like, "got" me.

Still can't log in. Not even as a guest. Wasted money and wasted time.

Don't go to Healthful.

What happened to all the moderators?
October 19, 2023
Updated review

This site used to be so good. Where are all the good mods they had? Never a mod on anymore. I quit going there no real conversations to be had and lots of trolls. Looking for a new site, any suggestions?

Not enough moderators
May 7, 2019
Previous review

I have been a regular and there are never enough moderators on to deal with all the issues. I have seen moderators try to give people many chances only to be sworn at and called names.
I don't get all the complaints about the moderators, probably banned chatters with a vendetta.

A decent site
March 16, 2023

I don't understand the negative reviews here - the site isn't perfect, but most of the moderators are nice. They try their best to help out when they can, but they are all volunteers and they seemingly don't have shifts of any kind, so it can be the wild west at night.

The mods in the depression side can be a bit fast and loose with the rules, so i stopped going there

Now only i go to the Healthful chat side and the mods there are nice (but sometimes you need to send them a message if someone is breaking the rules). The rooms can get a bit off topic, but the mods try to keep the triggering content out of the rooms.

This isn't a support site, but it is a good site to chat with other people. A lot of people there have anxiety, but i have seen people with bipolar and addiction

There is a hidden sect of users into pedophilia and sexual abuse. This website/server needs to be investigated and shut down. Worse yet, the moderators and administration back them up! Really makes you wonder what type of people volunteer to moderate, only to protect the guilty and abuse the innocent. There are at least a dozen sexual abusers that I've found on this server so far.

This chat is just toxic garbage. People will bully you every chance they get and now they got hackers that will ping your IP and look up your past usernames on the site in order to "intimidate" you. Im not scared if im not facing consequences. That chat deserves to be bullied. Its corrupt.

BEWARE OF LEMON
May 14, 2024

There is this chatter Lemon who harasses people and says vulgar and sexual stuff and posts insulting photos. Lemon is banned but ban evades like most banned chatters do this is not a safe website please ignore Lemon who will not stop the ban evasion and is a clinically insane person. The fact that banned chatters like Lemon can still access healthfulchat clearly means that the website is not safe.

Disgusting Moderators
December 26, 2018

No warnings I got banned for literally nothing. There are regulars that go there which the moderator always sides with and bans whoever disagrees or argues with them. The main chat is never about mental illness/support and more so of random idiotic subjects. Save your time and do something beneficial with it than on this site.

One of these disgusting moderators is named "Forever"

I've met and continued to engage with members of this site for over six months. It has helped me a lot and I've met people I respect and now are friends outside of the site.

The moderators seem fair to me, I'm not sure why the bad reviews. Vendettas from banned people probably that didn't read the rules, like someone else mentioned here. That's very unfair because these people are giving up their time for free to help others with similar health issues.

Overall, this site has a moral compass. It actually tries really hard to make sure standards are upheld. It doesn't allow (to the best of its ability), people to be disrespectful to each other. It encourages support and understanding. It's unique for this point alone. I encourage you to try it.

Not a helpful chat
February 2, 2019

The moderators in this chat are power hungry individuals who don't even interact with their chatters. They tell you to "move on" and offer no explanations for anything they do. They never respond to emails and the contact us is utterly useless. There is rampant sex talk that is allowed to go on. Anybody looking for a safe place to talk and discuss mental health best stay away, this chat has ruined so many people and the majority leave worse off than when they entered. It all starts at the top and those in charge don't care

Great site in general. Got to know quite a few nice people, most mods are super nice as well. Some are just weirdos (actual mod name). Long story short, mods dont build the community.

Moderators there think they are gods and ban people for the most random things, mostly just because they do not agree with them on any subject.

The non-moderator visitors are generally nice people though and make it worthwhile to spend some time there.

I was so pleased to come across this free site, where I've made friends and developed acquaintances that understand my heath conditions.

This is not professional counselling, but to me, it's even better... it introduces me to people that understand exactly what I'm going through.

I can't thank this site enough for everything they and it's kind members have offered me.

Thank you.

BlueGobi and Forever are probably the two worst offenders. Moderators pick fights, hold grudges, keep vendettas, etc. Not a safe place to talk about your feelings if you want to avoid being bullied by them.
