Heads up for mentions…
Calling @Noemi and @steelweaver
Mentions on edgeryders have a minor (but annoying) bug: the name of the user mentioned needs to be followed by a space and nothing else. Like this: @Alberto , but not like this: @Alberto. See the difference? Putting in the extra dot means the software is looking for a user called “Alberto.”, which course is not there.
As a result, @Sharon_Kinnane and @ybe had not received notifications from your mentions… until now.
Sharon, welcome from me too! That was quite the story. Like Noemi, I find super interesting that you single out “community” as your most important resource in coping with all these problems. Several people here seem to agree with you. This suggests that a good way to help mental health patients might be to turn every one of them into a healer for others, participating into a community healing itself. This came up in the story by @alan . His doctor suggested he gets involved in mental health advocacy immediately after making the diagnosis (full story). What do you think?
