AnxietyForums.org

[Lee]

I'd like to take a few moments to introduce AnxietyForums.org

The goal of the forum is to connect people with Anxiety Disorders and build supportive and healthy friendships with people who know what it is like to live with Anxiety.

We have a few bespoke features, that we feel will benefit our community.

We have a thought journal for keeping a "diary". These entries can either be private or public and can be shared to a thread to receive support:


The support thread:



And we have an anxiety tracker, which can be used to monitor trends with anxiety and identify triggers and coping mechanisms that work:



Again, this can be shared to a thread and made public for support:



I would like to extend a massive thanks to @Jeremy P - his expertise in the Development forum allowed these extra features to be possible.

Additionally, we have a glossary with useful terminology:

Looks great Lee.

You have created some interesting and different looking features.

Good luck with your site, any awareness for anxiety and anxiety-based illnesses is a good cause. I look forward to seeing it grow and what other developments you come up with

One thing I noticed is the "Disaccosiation" forum, shouldn't it be Dissociation or Disassociation?

Good spot, I am dyslexic so would never of noticed! Thank you

Thank you for the kind words, I know the theme is very "default" but I chose to keep it that way for ease of future upgrades and also because it does actually look very clean already out of the box.

I had a go at building an article management system using default XenForo tools, almost there:

I do have an licence for AMS by Bob, but I need that for another project and I like a challenge.

Article management index which is actually a page node:


and a category:



and the creation page, allowing users to override the default meta data:

Me too, and I'm a big fan of doing things without addons where possible.

However one very useful addon for me that helped with articles was @BassMan's very simple Enhanced Search Forum Widget. You can have different types of article in different search forum widgets on your page but (unlike default xf search forums) they still display as article previews.

Deffo a good niche given the lack of mental health resources, not that this makes up for it

Pretty good forums you have there Lee. There's not really many forums, that talk about "Mental Health, well-being" side of thing's. Keep up the good work! It'll definitely pay off!
