If you have this situation and you want to communicate with others on the Web site or you want to keep increasing your Support Network, there are two things that you should do, as follows:- Add your psychological disorders or the ones of people that you support or indicate that the specific disorder does not matter: Go to the Settings page by clicking the “Settings” button. Look at the top section. Check or leave uncheck the “You are a caregiver, parent, family member, relative, friend, or other” checkbox, as appropriate. Check or uncheck the option “Support or be supported for all psychological disorders” depending on whether you care which psychological conditions people in your support network are involved with. If you have this option unchecked, add psychological disorders by clicking the “Add Disorders” button, click on one of the psychological disorders, and click the “Add disorders” button. Make sure that each selection starts with hyphen characters. Repeat as needed to add all of the disorders. Note that you can select multiple disorders at one time by pushing down the control key while you click the mouse on each disorder. When you are done, all of your disorders should be listed under the “Add disorders” button. In the future, you can remove any of the disorders by clicking the appropriate “remove disorder” link. It is suggested that you choose all disorders listed that relate to the disorders with which you are involved to increase your chance of finding supporters. If the “Support or be supported for all psychological disorders” option is unchecked and you do not add any specific disorder, it will be more difficult for others to find you to request approval for you to be added to their support network (and they would be added to your support network).
- Find others people that can help you deal with your psychological disorders or you can help: Go to the Supporters page by clicking on the “Supporters” button. Click on the “search” button next to “Search top 20 users based on your Psych. Disorders:” in the “Search for a supporter” section. To find people supporting people with your disorders, click the “search” button next to “Search top 20 caregivers, family, friends, etc. by Psych. Disorders:” instead. You can do one or both of these searches. The User Names of the closest matches to your disorders who are not already your supporter will be listed. Note that the number of people shown can be less than 20, depending on well your disorder or disorders match with the current users on the Web site. Click the “Add supporter” button next to the site users that you want to add, or even better, click the “Add All” button. Each person that approves your supporter request will be added to your personal support network. Another way to grow your support network is to click on the “search” button next to “View your supporters' supporters:” in the “Search for a supporter” section. The User Names of your existing supporter’s supporters that are not already your supporter will be listed. Note that some of these people might not be dealing with the mental disorder with which you are involved. However, they can still provide helpful comments.
Keep on signing on and doing searches, making supporter requests often. More matches should be found as more users join the Web site.
