I think I'm your target market. But this isn't the thing I expected. I have like half of the issues on the list of topical chatrooms, and I like finding new communities of cool people. But I don't want to sit in a room full of people who self-select around that locus. From a literal standpoint, ADHD, anxiety, etc are "mental illnesses", but apart from diagnostic and self-care optimizations, I don't find it productive to think of myself in those terms. I'm not excited to jump in a room of people talking about being sick. The support I want is in the form of fascinating and electric co-conspirators, and that's not a specific support I need because I'm a specific kind of ailing. That's just the support that humans need. I'm not "unusual" because I have anxiety and anxiety is weird. Anxiety is normie as fuck. I'm weird because my specific flavor of brokenness tweaked my trajectory in a way that, compounded over 30 years, is fairly off the beaten path. I wanna talk to and about people like that. It's why I'm on HN. There are so many blindingly smart people on here, and the baseline quality of takes is way above most other places. ----- But looking closer, I don't think that's this website or the plan it has. There's a thing about how soon there will be doctors involved? And a dating service? At a glance, it seems like the goal is to get a bunch of mentally ill people into a pen and then monetize them in uninspired ways.
