They've got the right goal, but it's such a toxic site. I went from bad to suicidal last time I got sucked in, ended up in the psych ward for a week...seriously

I agree that it’s a good idea to have research, however they don’t have a right to be pissed off, they don’t have universal ownership of all things PFS, they need to be big enough to deal with people going their own way with this and not attempting charchter assasination on someone who differs with their opinion and who has only helped people.

I also agree with Snell regarding community, it’s bullshit, going your own way with positive guidance is the way to go, this sense of community and staying cut off from reality and camped on an online forum going back and forth with people of a similar negative outlook for months on end only enfoces and strengthens the myth that this is permanent and also not to mention being really unhealthy from a psychological perspective. It’s like a pit of quicksand.

Your reaction to your previous visits to that forum, ending up in psych ward etc is very similar to my own experience and to me anyway is very telling of what a huge part of PFS actually is.
