    It helps some people. Which literally just shows at how different each person gets treated. Some can post what they want and some cant even say a word. It’s weird like that 

    It's not like that at all. Post get removed all the time. It's just not ranted about publicly. It's kept between users and the mods.

    I find elefriends really helpful and I've gained a lot of peer to peer support there and I feel cared about and wanted by other people which I don't always feel else where :) it's really helped me 
    Really glad you find it useful 😊 I cant comment on how useful it is as I’m too young to use it but I just thought the concept was odd and wee bit cringe .. but that’s just me ahaha obviously it’s great stuff if people are finding it useful, maybe I’m picky 😆🤣


    The whole thing was designed by its users.. I think people need to realise that before attacking it. 
    It's no longer elefriends anyway
    I think some people on their prefer elefriends to the new one as well, I remember lots of people not liking the idea of a different site, which I think is understandable. 
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Im totally not attacking it. If it’s helping people that’s brilliant for them! I’m just sharing my opinion on what I’ve seen 😆

    Different experiences I guess. Every place either accidently treats people different with not good communication of what’s allowed and what’s not ect. Some things are so not black or white and I think that might be what happens 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,674 Skive's The Limit

    I’m not knocking it. It’s just my experience. Which no one else has expereinced apart from me so I’m allowed to have my views But yeah I’m glad the mix exists

    I've no experience with Elefriends as im 17 so too young to use it but I  have experience with a similar app and obviously here, iI've said this before but I think everyone is sooo different and different support sites work for different people. That doesn't mean one site doesn't care (I'm sure they all do) but people find different ones suit them better for different reasons.

    Aye I think it’s real important to remember that with mental health services were all going to have mixed opinions, some people slip through the net and don’t get the support they deserve and so desperately need, especially when the services are busy. So when someone says they’ve had a good experience, that doesn’t mean that everyone experiences the same. But that also doesn’t mean that they’re any less important, sometimes things just don’t work out. I’m glad these services are out there though because they obviously work for some people and whether it’s 10 or 10,000 people they’re helping, it’s still totally worth it being there
