Good Morning,

My name is Anastasia Volgemut and I am currently in the process of finishing my last year of the Psychology Degree. As part of my degree requirements, I was instructed to conduct an online assessment regarding individuals who are suffering from any psychological impairments that may hinder their day to day life and provide a platform that aims at bringing such individuals together in order to provide mutual support.
I would appreciate it if any members would be willing to provide me with information on what it is that they are struggling with and how an online forum where individuals can share and disclose experiences may benefit them.
All information will be kept anonymous unless the participants are willing to disclose their names as part of the ethical conduct and I will be happy to reply to any emails if that is the case.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards.
 
It's a lot easier chatting on an online forum then it is in real life when you suffer from severe social anxiety.
I for one wouldnt mind an online forum for this kind of thing
 
Welcome Anastasia, you're sure to enjoy your stay.

Plenty of subjects, plenty of us practicing psychology even though we aren't qualified.

/let the fun begin.

Surely you're not implying that myBB does not fit the bill.

Take a lesson from Tony Soprano. The wife will always figure out that your therapist is a she and not a he eventually.
 
Thank you all for your responses.
I am aware that many experience struggles and I would like to add that you are not alone. On that note, are there any particular areas which you are currently struggling with or topics that you may need support on ? Furthermore, have any of you attended counselling or any form of therapy before ? And if so, what was your experience like prior, during and after ?
Regards
 
I am happy to listen to any or all that you are referring to, and will do my best to create a platform that might benefit you and other people experiencing similar issues.
 
Hi Maumau, unfortunately as per the rules and regulations of the multiple health and ethics codes we are not allowed to practice psychology with out the necessary qualifications. However, we can do our part in short term counselling and / or forums like this and practice skills such as listening, supporting and directing people where they are most able to get help.
With that said, I am happy to hear if you also have any ideas on how to create a better forum / platform whereby people can connect and support each other.
 
The forum that my institution and I aim to create is not financially related at all. It is more of a support group for shared experiences, beliefs, and an attempt to bring the community together so one can help another in a beneficial way and not destructive. So to answer your question, there will be no money involved.
