I deeply believe that socialization, being silly or funny and personal expression are among the highest forms of mental health support and would be more than happy to cite references, if you'd like.

SURPRISE We totally agree. No references needed!
> Personally, I've gained a great deal of support and comfort from others (who are facing problems every bit as serious and many more whose problems are far greater as mine) who take the risk of expressing themselves, sharing in a moment of laughter. I suspect that's why this board is called Psycho-Social Babble.
Coral My suggestion that the creative board be called Psychoticbreakbabble was meant in a humorous way, suggestive of coffeebreak perhaps? And certainly was not meant to offend you!! This suggestion was not meant as criticism of you or anyone else. ( I guess that's what happens when I took the risk of expressing myself humorously ;o)
I didn't mean to imply that socializing was not a form of mental health support!! Of course it is.
I think it's important enough to rate a whole board!!!I just thought a reorganization would make Psychobabble more effective.
