In the General Chat there is a Sub-forum, Love line, why not have one for our emotional state entirely and not just relationship and advice on our romantic feelings? I think there should be a Sub-forum for depression, General Mental Health or even just when someone feels off and needs to talk seriously about how they feel but its not quite bad enough to be a mental health issue.

D2jsp may not be the best place to find help, yet we still ask questions about relationships, we still seek guidance in our faith and we have serious conversations about politics and science. If you posted something like "I am really feeling down and need some help" in the gc and you aren't known well or respected then you would have a lot of trolls that would make things worse with only a few who would really care.
I think we actually need this.

Opinions?

...mental health therapy should be handled by professionals .

Never said therapy. we all need someone to talk to sometimes. Theres a love line so why not. Also I wasn't speaking just for those with mental health problems. everyone has bad days sometimes and its better to talk about it. It's also nice to have some outside opinions on dilemmas that aren't just related to romantic relationships

No

Absolutely ... people need a place to vent their feelings and discuss things in a place with more structure than general chat .

not needed

I voted Yes.

Good luck.
