Peer support
A kind, anonymous space for people across New Hampshire to talk about mental health — what's hard, what helps, and how we keep going. No account needed.
This community is peer support, not a crisis service. If you or someone else is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime.
Every thread, every story, every resource mentioned here is grounded in the realities of NH — our geography, our providers, our wait lists, our strengths.
No account, no sign-in, no real name required. You can read everything and start a thread with nothing more than words.
Licensed NH mental health professionals are part of this community. When you share your experience, the people reading include those who can help.
Lived experience is its own expertise. The most useful thing you might find here isn't a hotline number — it's someone who's been where you are.
A welcoming space to share what you're going through and find encouragement from others in New Hampshire.

NH mental health clinicians — therapists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists — read and participate here. When you share what you're going through, professional perspectives are in the room. That doesn't mean this is a clinical service: it's still peer support. But it means you're never only talking to people who don't know the system.
If you're a clinician yourself, the Clinician Forum is a separate, verified space built for professional discussion.

Getting outside helps my head a lot, but I do better with a bit of accountability. Anyone in the Portsmouth/Dover area up for casual weekend walks? Nothing intense — pace and conversation optional.
I hold it together the whole day — smiling, answering in class, acting normal — and then completely crash the second I get home. It's like a performance and I'm so tired. Just wondering if anyone else does this.
Everyone keeps telling me these are the best years of my life and I mostly feel lost and homesick. Classes are fine but I feel behind socially and I don't want to worry my parents. Does it get better or is something wrong with me?
My father is finally open to talking to someone, but options feel thin where he lives and he doesn't drive much anymore. Has anyone navigated rural access up north? Telehealth? Mobile crisis? Not sure where to start.
