So, what is this place for?

Psychology topics haven't really fit in here until now.
For instance, when someone finally snaps and starts a thread about their personal struggles, maybe it doesn't strictly belong in a psychology sub, so those kinds of discussions are allowed here? Is my assumption correct?

... I think I've finally realized that too, @Ptico...

Come on, casualharbor9, spill it... How was it for you?

... oh, stoooop it... 😊 :zajapur:

Just look at how everything has shifted; now psychology is nothing more than some "beginner's guide to the mind" for hobbyists, and therapy sessions have devolved into just being part of the "Prozac Nation" crowd...

Great... 🙏

Bravo! Like, this is exactly what I’ve been saying for at least two years now. The main admin needs to clear out all those endless "What if..." and "How about..." threads and actually build a solid archive of professional, informative topics. Otherwise, this little sub-forum is just gonna end up being a place for nothing but whining and melodrama.
🤣

Fantastic! 🙏 👍

Man, whenever they start moving threads around...

I’m really going to miss all those posts like:
-I feel restless—is this an anxiety disorder or what?

-I’m feeling depressed—am I mentally ill?

-Is this a clinical disorder or am I just losing it?

Or maybe: "Just pop some Xanax All the answers will find you eventually
Just take your Lexapro And finally see the light at the end of the tunnel"

The song's called Happy Pill? 😁 🤣

We really ought to make the most of this moment before one of the moderators loses their cool and starts handing out bans like candy...😁

I’m knocking back vodka and pills
and floor wax too, just for thrills.
An addict, I admit it's true,
but it's far too late for a detox cue...🤣🙂🙂🙂🙂

When you're happy and you tear down the neighbor's roof
When you're happy and you wreck someone else's home
When you pass away, nobody's gonna shed a tear for you...😂

Exactly! And when you head over to the dentist, you just start humming "Oh, Happy Drill"...😁

Samuel Martinez19 said:The psychology forums have been filled with nothing but irrelevant nonsense lately.
I mean, when someone just loses their mind and starts a thread dumping all their personal baggage everywhere, is that really what those boards are for, or should they be reserved for actual professional discussion, or am I just completely off base here?

Exactly what I was thinking.

We really need to draw a line between actual clinical psychology and this self-help stuff... 🙂

Anyway, enough chatter—I'm tired of just padding my post count while we wait for an actual moderator to show up.🙂 😁

Seriously, what happened—did everyone just freeze up? It’s like we finally gained our freedom and now we have absolutely no clue how to actually use it.

I just had to!😂🤣😂
