I'm 23 but I would've loved to have this app when I was in high school. I feel like it could've given me a lot better advice than I had access to, and things could've been different for me now. But I'm here now, and it's still helping even though I'm a bit older, and I'm glad there are people older than me on here because they prove I can make it through whatever I've got going on

Same 😅 I'm 15 but I can't find any apps that allow teens that are under 16 and I'm a December baby which makes it worse.

I’m 20, but I had a lot of health problems at age 16 and would’ve needed a safe space like this to talk about my health struggles. Welcome to the sick community, I hope you are able to find some support and advice 🖤

i’d imagine they probably have to have it set as 18+ for liability reasons, but as long as you follow the idea of “this doesn’t substitute professional medical advice”, i don’t think it matters what age you are!

I am also over 18, but something like this could have been a real lofe saver as a teen. Happy to help, whatever age you are

I’m 20 so no I’m not under 18 but I agree that there needs to be more online help for those who are under 18. I’m glad you are here regardless of your age ❤️
