PsychCentral

Was a member of this site for several years; during this time I was suffering severe emotional traumas in real life; as such, a Doctor prescribed me many medications which clouded my worldview. Was unaware, until I started coming off the Medications that this site was exceptionally dangerous to anyone suffering from Mental Illness. It was, at this time, that I realized that there were multiple accounts given to the same person-- In the writings they posted-- I could discern that one individual was also another-- different gender, different age! It was frightening! I honestly thought I was going completely insane! Then a friend on the site sent me a copy of an e-mail she had gotten from "Doc John" wherein he states that "certain members are allowed multiple accounts (different usernames, different ages, different genders) "for their protection", WOW. I was so relieved. Then all sorts of bogus activity began to appear on the site. I would report trolls to the Moderators, but the moderators seemed impervious to said "Abuse of Terms"-- It was a horror for me. In the end, they "Banned" me... lol... I knew too much. The site is DANGEROUS. I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Worker for the State--- PsychCentral needs to be banned from the internet. It is immoral and cruel, to fool the vulnerable with the Games people play with the sensitivities of said population.

Yes, "John Grohol" holds a PsyD-- However, once I was aware of the practices of his site-- I realized he could not be a Sane, or even a Decent human to run a site filled with bogus people, bogus situations, and inane bullying! DO NOT GO ON THAT SITE if you are ill-- see a Mental Health expert. It is NOT A "Safe, Self Supporting Place" -- Fact is, it is the Opposite of what it professes to be.
