Healthful Chat

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.

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.

Worst site for chat ever! Theyll ban you for any littile thing. The site should be shut down immediatley I might report to the bad buisness bureau if possible

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.

Basically, this site is a circle-jerk of the regulars insulting people for things they haven't experienced. I've visited it on and off for about a month, and the majority of people who frequent it are anti-social in their own regard. There is the clique of landlords who denigrate others, saying they "own them" or can "buy them". Then there are the regulars who can insult/disbelieve anyone with impunity. They insult dead loved ones, and then ban you when you show them how ridiculous it is.

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?

This is a site funded by ads. Its a fraud site full of degenerate creeps that will bully ppl for trying to help other ppl out. Tons of perverts and child abusers. Pretty much a dating site for mentally ill people that cant get regular dates IRL. Disgusting. Site should be banned. / 5 minus star rating

Chris j - As chatters we are unaware of what goes on behind the scenes. It's possible the chatter in question had been reported as inappropriate. As you've noted in other comments the site is prone to perverts and it's the moderators job to protect chatters, therefore chatters should not question a mods motives when they try to do exactly that.

Tommy d - Agree there is favoritism. New chatters get in trouble for things mods themselves do and the mods ignore the same thing a regular chatter does. Agree there isn't enough focus on health issues and people coming in seeking help are missed. Disagree with your opinion about Forever. Many chatters love this mod. She is fair, kind, and one of the mods who actually takes actions when needed. Chatters who don't follow rules dislike her for that reason.

Tom D - yes, it's a pick up site. Have to learn to close the pm and put the pervs on ignore. Mods used to mute and kick the pervs. Something happened with the modding where they started focusing on minor infractions and letting the big stuff go. Wish they'd bring back the kick butt mods.

Freya l - It says in the rules displayed before entering site self-harm and suicide talk is not allowed as it puts undue stress on and triggers other chatters. I agree with the rule.

Bill b - no proof mods read personal messages, just a rumor

Felicity M - Many chatters are defensive in general and feel they can break rules without being reprimanded. Extensive disrespect for the mods and rule breaking goes on. Site rule is to not argue with the mods and if you have an issue use report content to address since it disrupts room to argue.

Timmy V - Agree. Chatters are banned and when contact is made to find out why at times not answered. There's 2 sites, Depression/Trivia and Healthfulchat, who share the same server. Depression bans without reason and it's difficult to enter back into room. Healthfulchat sometimes same, but much better than Depression.

The thing about a lot of these comments are they are directed at the Depression/Trivia site, but listed under Healthfulchat because you can enter Healthfulchat via Depression site and vice versa so many chatters don't realize they are different.

To combat the pervs have to close pm and ignore. I think it should be an auto-ban, but it's so easy to override a ban mods don't ban.

Don't believe the good reviews here, most likely fakes to boost the rating.

The first month I used the site, I literally just logged in when I got kicked by Astrid, a mod, rudely accusing me of terrible behavior. I logged in again and asked her in main chat of depression What's up with her kicking me out and accusing me of something when I just logged in. I got no reply. I was upset so I left.

My experiences in this site are horrible. Men wanting sex talks, scammers, even pedos. I've noticed that people in the main chat are primarily composed of people who have no jobs, in disability or relying on gov't funds, entitled people who hates rich/wealthy people and thinks gov't should be able to give them better support/more financial benefits, men who treats the site as a dating site, and those who constantly just complain about their life without making real effort of changing their situation, and adults acting like kids. I've also encountered porn links on site, and mods can't do anything about it.

Mods are all volunteers and also have mental health issues as they are chosen from regular chatters on the site. People who got kicked out can just log back in within seconds. Even banned people can somehow still log back in. Ignore feature does not really work because every time you log out or the ignored person log out and back in, the ignore is gone so you have to do it all over again.

This is the site to go to if your purpose is just to complain about everything in public. If you are serious about getting help, this is the worst site to go to as you will just get constantly triggered. If you stay in this site for a long time, your mental health issues will not get better, and would just get worst.

7 cups has better support as you can find normal (not mentally ill) people who gives great advices.

Mark w has been restricting my mental health blocking me from the site I use so much I get my help here and he has got mad because he did not identify with my choice of discussion I was not speaking in vulgarity and he is unreasonable blocking me from my main source of psychological healing I need help

To, be prefectly honest this chatroom oveffers any kind of support at all. This chatroom is nothing short aof a joke. The chatters constantly bully and harass other chatters for being gay, etc. I cannot believe in this day and age there are still a lot of ignorant people in this world.

I have learned to stay clear of this site! The mods show a lot of favortism toward certain chatters.

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.

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

Sharing my opinion with some other people here. The "mods" are friendly for sure. But there are 40 channels - most of the time 150 users... well we can do the math.

+ adverts and a cry for donation. Tbh - i actually wondered if some of the "guest/trolls" were mods. But yea. Cant know.

They bully mentlally ill people because they know they can get away with their behaviour not a good place to chat

There are mutiple things wrong with this site. I have worked for a crisis chat line last year and have battled with mental health for many more.
The chatrooms i went into (requested from calm because i cannot do phone calls because im hard of hearing) were seemingly completely unmonitored, bots kept popping up asking you to donate to the shambles of the website
No research has been done around the postive and negatives around having mutiple people woth the same underlying issue they clicked on for help may i add in the same chat room. Everyone was triggering each other there were no professionals or systems in place to stop people or remove even after someone has said to not talk about a subject mutiple times. There is no monetising around potentially harmful subjects which is why 1 to 1 chat services with a trained professional is much more effective than alot of unwell people all in one room with no supervision (much like in a pshych ward with no staff) its not going to go well for anyone.
Made me so much worse when i just wanted to talk to someone about my situation and feeling because i have no one to talk to and i hate to think about how many more people are being made so much worse when clicking on this site
Absaloutely disrespectful and my complaint message wont even allow me to contact them.

The healthfulchat lounge, is the worst chat site I have ever visited. It's a wonder they are still in operation.
The mods are all power hungry and show favortism certain chatters.

Don't go to the depression room if you want any kind of real meaningful support if you're in crisis or severely depressed. Astrid will talk about her cats and that's ok but you're in trouble if you mention sending info about crisis sites. Astrid pretends to be "away" to watch people chat and as soon as you mention that there are other sites for support she'll suddenly pm you and accuse you of advertising or promoting sites and then ban you without warning. She does this most with guests, but will let chatters with nicknames get away with talking about sex in the main room.
The site would be a lot better if moderators like Astrid used common sense because it's ridiculous to ban people for helping others find crisis sites. But they are short on moderators volunteers so you're stuck with people like Astrid who basically tries to browbeat you into saying you won't share crisis support services with people who need it.
Google crisis sites and other support chats like 7cups if you want help

I'm Brumble in this old screenshot, I'm transgender.

How is this site still up? Cyber bullying is illegal in the united states, they need turned in.

I got IP banned after correcting a mod that claimed AUTISM wasn't a mental disorder. Quoted CDC-5 for the mod to then state the book is wrong. I asked why they just couldn't admit their fault and boom, IP banned. Talk about ignorance and bullying.

I was on this chat for no longer than 2 weeks, I was trolled. The mods did not care. I was making people aware with a friend of mine and we both got blocked for trying to help people. Once blocked they would not give us a reason.

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"
