For me Reddit was always the place where you can find firsthand raw experience. A place where people are free to share and ask questions. A place where you can seek support and find a feeling that you’re not alone. I thought it would be nice to find something similar here.
So anyway some time ago I was struggling through the consequences of a bad drug trip. I was experiencing a bad case of depersonalisation and derealisation. I was almost at the verge of breakdown. At some point I wasn’t sure if reality was a stable thing or was about to shatter any moment.
It was r/drugs who helped me realise I wasn’t alone in that, nor was I having the worst. It helped me identify the substance and understand how it affected me. I browsed through the stories similar to mine, and it finally gave me a piece of mind and a sense of closure. it’s been over a decade since I had the last psychotic episode.
Bottom line, I though it would be cool if we shared some personal stories about how did Reddit community help you through tough times.
Getting diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. That’s the one community I will likely go back and visit from time to time.
Hi I created a Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis group here! I miss the reddit group too.
Ahh sweet! Thanks for doing that. I wanted to do it, but don’t really have the time to moderate.
Encouraged me to abandon its platform.
