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.

peer support
I found this site really good, there are many people who offer advice and support from their own experiences that I found really useful. It does have trolls but usually, the moderators are able to get rid of them fairly quickly.
I would say overall the site offers a lot of support to people who might not be in crisis but just need someone to talk to. I went on as I wasn't sure where to turn to for help, and people encouraged me to speak to a therapist, and when I had concerns about taking medication they helped me know what they had experienced themselves. I feel that I am in a much better place now than I was when I first entered the chatroom.
I came to this site when I was feeling very suicidal and the people there helped a lot. It's not got actual therapists and psychiatrists but people seem to want to help each other barring the odd person who is there to troll. I saw mods in there and they were helpful.
I find healthful chat to be an extremely useful link to the broken chain we call medical and health practices. They never close their door to peer support on you. If you lose insurance are hurt etc they are their for everyone, Peer support is what it is and is only effective to a point due to various locations of dwelling and experiences. The ability to talk with a peer when no one is around to hear you is critical to healing and health. I applaud this service and donate as much as possible.
The site has good and bad like all chat sites. It is a peer support site so take advice with a grain of salt. There are rooms for a lot of topics and people from all over the world. Some rooms are more active and others it depends on the time of day. I have meet many good people there. Like all sites it gets trolls and people lying for attention. But they mods and ras are good about trying to get them gone or calmed down if they are told.
