Welcome to !mensmentalhealth. I’m very new to managing an online community so bear with me. I saw a need and having dealt with my own issues, as well as many saying they wished such an area existed in Lemmy, I thought I’d get this going.
Check out the sidebar for the rules. For now they’re ripped mostly from other areas I’ve seen online. I’m happy to keep things going but may enlist / ask for help should that need arise. I’m also acutely aware of the sensitive nature of these sorts of discussions. So while “don’t be a dick” is rule #5 it’s most certainly at the forefront of my mind.
As the title states, all constructive comments are welcome. Have at it and I hope this helps out anyone who may need it.
Disclaimer: I’m nowhere near a mental health professional, just a random guy on the internet. My expertise is very techy so I won’t even pretend to give any medical advice. At best you’ll get tidbits on personal experience. I hope that folks with real & useful things to say will poke their heads in here to speak from time to time.

Thanks for creating this community and hope that it becomes a thriving safe-space. Better awareness and management of our mental health concerns and issues are always welcome in my book.
Thanks! I will definitely be active here.
The fact this sub is dead is absolutely dire.
This seems like a good idea, but you should keep an eye out for the guys from the “men” community on lemmy.world. they used to belong to leftwingmaleadvocates on reddit and they are toxic as fuck. Hope you can keep this place positive.
Definitely keeping an eye out. Rule #5 is intentionally vague and leaves the definition up to mods discretion.
Hopefully your mods act in better faith than theirs
Added this comm to the list at [email protected]. If you have some interesting discussion topic, you can cross post there too.
Great thank you!
