General information about Psycho-Babble

Here's some general information about Psycho-Babble. And links to more stuff here at dr-bob.org.

Registration

Registration is required to post. A confirmed e-mail address is required to register, but you don't have to give it out when you post. You can confirm (or update) your registration (or register for the first time) now or when you post. You don't need to register a separate time for each board. No money or waiting is required. You register using a secure web server, so information you submit is encrypted before it's sent, so you don't have to worry about it being intercepted.

List of boards

There's a lot to babble about! Here are the active Psycho-Babble message boards:

Medication is about biological treatments,
Alternative is about alternative treatments,
Faith is about religious faith,
Grief is about grief, mourning, and loss,
Health is about physical health and healthy habits,
Neurotransmitters is about advanced medication issues,
Newbies is for new members,
Politics is about politics,
Psychology is about psychology and psychological treatments,
Social is for general support and "just" being social,
Substance Use is about substance use,
Withdrawal is about withdrawal from medication,
Writing is for creative writing,
2000 is for those who joined then, and
Administration is about the operation of this site.

And here are the inactive ones. These discussions now take place on Social, so follow-ups are automatically redirected there.

Books was about books,
Eating was about eating,
Parents was about parents and children,
Relationships was about interpersonal relationships,
Self-Esteem was about self-esteem,
Students was for university students, and
Work was about employment.

Babbleometer

You can use the Babbleometer to track how you do over time: fill out some questionnaires, save your responses on the server, and review your progress whenever you like. Doing this in a consistent way may give you a helpful perspective on how things are going and a better idea of what helps and what doesn't.
