Advice please

I feel like we need a health and fitness area, to cover mental and physical health, diet exercise and whatever, trying to determine scale of interest and preferences.

 

Would you prefer:

a) an area with several forums (dividing, diet / exercise / mental health for example)

b) themed threads in a single forum in one of the existing forums (presumably Myst)

c) a single forum for 'general health' with a sub forum on 'diet and exercise'

d) other (make a suggestion)

I think diet and exercise should be seperate from anything else.  For one, the obsession over such things simply isn't good for MY mental health. I know, for many, exercise is like their religion, but I find the obsession just as unhealthy as being nothing but a couch potato and eating crisps all day is - it's simply the other side of madness and self-physical abuse.  The whole topic should be contained so that the fit-bit people can enjoy their masochistic torture away from the rest of us.

It would be good to have a health forum for those of us who suffer from both chronic physical and mental conditions.  Could be a spoonies thread for those of us who suffer from some form of chronic exhaustion. Various threads for different conditions.  Various threads for different mental disorders.

I think it would be a wonderful idea! I would choose option C. I agree with what @Songmistresssaid, diet and exercise should be seperate from mental and physical conditions.
I'm not sure if we're with enough people to separate it further from each other yet.

OK so we are voting for a 'Diet and Exercise' forum and a 'Mental Health forum' - preferably as far from each other as possible?

Does anyone want to suggest a title for Mental Health forum?  I will call it mental health for now, but it seems a bit bland.  If you have something else you prefer let me know.

"To find peace within.." 

Never mind that's corny even for me.

Mental health forum. Why Sanctuary of the Mind and the other could be Body Temple

As ever our dear squirrel lady shows her talent with words and wisdom.

Yeah, @hirondelle I like Keth's idea, that's my vote
