Mental Health Initiative on FreeCompliments - 12/3/23 - 12/4/23

avatar

The mental health initiative on the FreeCompliments Community will use this account (fc-mentalhealth) to address and keep track of users who have received our help. We will post relevant links for the purpose of organization and write the steps we took and how we will follow up. This account will also provide support to users who require our help via curation, both for the purpose of financial assistance, and in some cases for increased visibility on various frontends.

Posts/Threads/Comments addressed over the past 2 days:

https://inleo.io/@josediccus/life-update-a-lonely-place

  1. Identified by @ckole. The poster has had chronic issues with mourning the loss of his sibling, in addition to the deterioration of his health, causing him stress and anxiety.

  2. Posted on our threadcast and addressed by the initial identifying MHA plus others who joined in.

  3. Previously spoken to by @freecompliments with an offer of assisting with medical services in the US once the poster is able to come here (tentatively 1-2 years).

  4. Follow up approximately on a weekly basis, or when the poster discusses their problems again.

  1. Identified by @ckole. The poster describes how she deals with strong emotions, and identifies her loneliness as a significant issue which she does not expect will be solved. Consider self-esteem issues as a root problem.

Practicing medicine without license is a punishable offence.. Are you qualified to give advice to these people?

This is a very good point, and it's one that's been discussed in depth. For background, I am a physician and aware of the importance of not practicing actions for which we're unqualified / out of our depth. One of my key points for mental health ambassadors was to recommend working with a professional in as many cases as possible, provided mental health conditions are present.

Otherwise, the primary goal of our mental health ambassadors is just to touch base and be a primary point of emotional support, rather than the final stop. We're organizing the process in a more professional manner, but in no way or form are we practicing any forms of medicine (including diagnosis, prescriptions or recommendations for prescription medications, and practice of techniques developed and intended for use by licensed professionals).

BTW: Change your fucking tone, it's annoying

Do you mean within these specific posts from fc-mentalhealth? I know they read very clinical and dry, but that's by design. They're supposed to be purely objective bullet points. We use far more fluid language when actually talking to people - different language styles for different purposes. I never talk to people in such a dry manner lol.

A little bit more concerning for me... I saw a lot of your comments and it seems that they're filled with quite a lot of hatred and anger. I'm not going to pass judgment without context - that wouldn't be fair nor honest. Are you using this platform to vent? Are these strong emotions common for you to experience outside of Hive? Is there some major stressor or traumatic event in your life that may have caused this? (Provided you're comfortable sharing)
