i've been here for a while, and through the years I've grown some and not having crazy, trolling posts....attention seeking, but I jus though it would be a good idea for this site to be a counseling site for people on the net, and it would be totally free. Like im 25, im not thriving, not a rich executive, or a psychology degree....and right now im trying to overcome my own demons of fear, and some handicaps preventing success, but....right now I can't boast or elobroate about myself, or my experience because im still at home, trying to start my life again. But I kinda now want to help people, maybe here on babble, for any reason, definitely not a live google information database lol, but I think its time to start helping people. I write on this site vary well, better than sometimes in real life.
so, babble is like a communitee, I know some people here....for years and always there's newcomers, some people like, and other don't, but hopefully I can grow on this site again to get into a career, discuss things, learn, I mean its good idea. I don't know what to say about opening a counseling board....may be a cool thing. But still its a random idea.
leave the self obessed person of trying to figure out his life, and connect to other posters.

But still its a random idea.I see Babble as a community, too. I'm open to new directions. How would a counseling board be different than what's here already?

hey dr-bob sorry I haven't been on my pc for a while.....
no I was thinking that a couple nights ago that there could be a board, that directly would be for counseling for people, the boards already are supportive, the meds and the psychology but there more personal discussions, and social stuff....like something that would give people who are having trouble, and need to talk to someone, and would get more of a specific advise for the issue.
me personally, I don't want to include my own name with honors for counseling because I have stuff that gives a subcategory of giving advise but having my own difficult problems, I have handicapps with learning, and doing things that normal people can do easily, not really an active life right now because im scared of getting out and facing my own fears of failure... but still I've thought this over again that spending time reading people's issues for help, and advise, and then start applying that to my own situation.
that would be a good idea....really, the members here on the boards, I know some vary well, others I don't much associate with but, but a board for new people, and current members. Maybe just keep that as an idea. It could give a Babble a boost in its reputation on the web for people needing help.....with no charge for counseling. So....whatever comes....
thanks, ill try to get back with you about that, but what do you think about it?

Hmm, do you mean counseling like from a therapist?

Not to butt in but I've read that online counselling is something that is happening already and may be utilized more. I don't know if this is what RJ meant but thought I'd throw it out there. Phillipa

yea....but the only thing is im not a therapist...no psychology degree either....but I do have some knowedge on somethings and fast research. Yea what phillipa said, there's counseling websites that are already on the web, I just thought one thing I would be good for people here....and it would also give babble reputation for helping on issues. Like I know babble is already a support group, well sometimes lol, but reason like listening to people here and using various types of counseling techniques....cognitive behavioral therapy...there's a lot of them, yet no official therpists licenced to counsel on babble, but the good side is that it would have no charge. The 2nd important issue would be to give positive advice and not discreetly implying to do something that's immoral, or vary negative, and degrading. I've done that plenty of times in the past....its not really good for both sides.
but yea....im sure therpists could be recruited here....but its difficult because babble isn't that well known yet, but it will boost its reputation for helping people on the web....
