I noticed a few threads in my wanderings where people with health disorders or (insert variety of) identity troubles band together to discuss the issues they have with their life choice/ sickness/ what have you, to lean on each other, and to ask advice on how to handle the situations they are facing.
Do these fall under the rule of "Do not post threads requesting or providing medical advice or counseling"? I only ask because threads that call out, for example, for advice on how to deal with depression or mental disorders feel like requesting counseling to me and I just want to be sure that I won't get burned for participating in such a discussion.

Zemratsu I've participated in several threads that served as support discussions / talked about how people get by day-to-day. They're a lot more like chats friend-to-friend than actual counseling. So long as you're not giving people clinical advice, it's never been an issue.
