"How do I find mental health resources?"

I get asked this question or variations of it a lot.  I'm going to put some ABC-123 basics for finding mental health resources here.  The question usually comes up in virtual worlds or virtual world forums and this is my virtual world blog, so you'll notice a focus on virtual worlds.  You can peruse the following post or just skip to the links at the bottom.  As you wish.  And, speaking of wishes, the best of mine to you.

Second Life - Inworld

Find a nice spot in Second Life where you can relax.  I like beaches.



Set your avatar to "afk" so you can limit messages and focus on your search.



Open your "Search" box.  Keep in mind different viewers keep that function in different places.  This is mine:



Note and use the pulldown menu of types of searches.  I believe that if you are seeking mental health support, your best chances of finding what you want come with searching "Places" and "Groups."



You should use a variety of search terms from the general to the specific.  I'm going to start with the obvious, "mental health."  I'll search "Places" and then "Groups."





I received 9 returns for "Places" and 44 returns for "Groups."  That's a good start.

This is a screenshot of me searching "Places" for "Depression."  I received 35 results and if you look at the descriptions, you can see they are clearly about supporting people suffering from depression.



This is a screenshot of me searching with the term "Transgender" in "Groups."  I received 280 returns.  Now some of those are going to be fun and frisky sex groups, but some, like the first one listed, will be support groups.



Pick a place that appeals to you and Teleport to it.






Keep going until you find one you like.  You're the consumer, the shopper.  So shop.




Google

You can also go online and just Google things like:

mental health in Second life
mental health in virtual worlds
support for depression in Second Life
transgender support in Second life
depression support forums

And so forth.

Daniel Voyager's "SL Newbies" Blog Post

Colleen Criss just alerted me to the fact that Daniel Voyager has posted some detailed, specific and helpful 2012 information for SL Newbies.  Worth checking out if you are new or helping the new-to-Second Life.  That first link in particular, "SL Newbies" is like a one-stop shop of resource links for newbies.  Good stuff, Maynard.

I opened one of those Jira whirlygigamajiggy things. Wish me luck.

Can we get three links added up there on the bar at the top of the Feeds next to "What is Second Life?" and "Destinations" and "Shopping"? One that says "Download" that leads to a download link for the Second Life LL viewer and one that says "Answers" that leads to the Answers page in the Second Life community forum and considering the fact that most of the Lindens have the Support Portal as the place to go for help in their own profiles, how about a link to the Support Portal. That would be super. Thanks.

Second Life. I'm in. Now what? (Part V - Go find something to do.)

5.  Go find something to do.

I have yet to find someone who doesn't log in to Second Life and respond with, "it was huge and there was NO ONE ANYWHERE."

I know.  I thought the same thing my first time too.  Wide open spaces and tumbleweeds and maybe one person who quickly made themselves scarce.  And it looks like all of Second Life is that way, right?  Nothing to do, nothing to see, no one to talk to and you can even hear the wind howling if you have your speakers on.

Here's the dirty little secret of Second Life.  There are millions of us in there and we are all hiding from you.

Well, it might as well be, because your experience as a newbie is a valid one and yet there is an inexhaustible supply of things to do, places to go and people to see.  Once again, you just need to know where and how to look.  You also need to get some gumption and get off your mental couch and get with the program.  The beauty of Second Life is that it is a platform and you can do or be just about anything or anyone.  The key to that is you.  Go.  Do.  Be.

I'll drop some links in this post to get you started.  Be fair warned though.  I know what's out there.  I've been exploring for two years and I'm still not done.  I also have a bat and frying pan in my inventory and limited patience for whining or lack of initiative.  If you tell me you read this blog post and you couldn't find any people or anything to do, then I will beat you to a pulp with my bat and pan and then we'll both have something to do.  Isn't that nice?


Now for the leads and links...

The Second Life Profile Feeds at https://my.secondlife.com.  People post pics with little hyperlinks that say "Visit Location" all day long showing what they are doing and where at that very moment.

Bloggers.  There are thousands of Second Life hobby bloggers out there posting about fashion, freebies and the latest cool club or roleplay sim or live music event in Second Life.  Check 'em out.  There's a whole bunch of them on this blog in the "Lee's Links" section at the bottom.

Forums.  People post about stuff and people answer questions about stuff.

Destinations & Events.  Second Life puts a handy-dandy Destination and Event guide on your Search in your Viewer and on their online site.

Search.  Type in a word that interests you.  Maybe "dance" or "music" or "golf."  Check out the results paying particular interest to the "sort by traffic" pull-down menu if you are looking for people.

Maps.  Your viewer maps will show green dots.  That's where the people are.  Wanna get there fast?  Teleport or fly.

Groups.  Join groups in Second Life and get notices about events.

People.  Ask them.

Curiosity.  Yours.  Follow it.

Second Life. I'm in. Now what? (Part IV - Stop Looking Like a n00b)

4.  Stop looking like a n00b.

a.  We all look like n00bs our first time in Second Life.  Don't sweat it.

b.  Not everyone wants to follow this step.  There are regular Residents who have been around for years who still walk and type like newbies.  That's their choice, that's their thing and glory hailballs for freedom of choice. Lots of other people, however, want to wash off that new avatar smell as soon as possible.  Here's how.

1.  Get out of the prefab Linden Lab skin you wore on day one.  Change skin, shape and clothes.

2.  Get an AO (animation overrider) and stop walking like you have a dried corncob up your ass.

3.  Stop your typing animation.

4.  Rez, do not wear, boxes.  (This is one I still do to this day.)

5.  Step off of landing points as soon as you can.  (See the people hovering over you?  They're waiting for you to get out of the way so they can land.  More are coming.  Move.)

6.  Don't ask everyone you meet if you look sexy or if they wannafuck and don't tell every female avatar that you meet that they are really a guy.

7.  Pay attention to region maturity levels and don't walk around naked or in XXX attire in General areas.  And put your cock away.

8.  Don't push people and don't walk or bump into them.

9.  Check your screen for helpful IMs from the people around you.

10.  Learn and practice some of the etiquette of the new culture you are in.  Utilize some of the etiquette you learned in real life in Second Life too.

Note:  I keep linking RLetc.com.  It's a third-party virtual world forum.  You have to join and become a member to view the content.  It's a small, quiet, easygoing little forum with good people in the membership ranks.  It's a good place for new people to go and put their toes in the water without getting blasted by people who like to game forums.  Also, back in 2010 I spent hours assembling a boatload of guides, many of which still contain a lot of useful and relevant information as well as links, slurls, screenshots and step-by-step instructions.  Am I an expert in SL?  Hell no.  But as I went through those early days and figured stuff out, I made note and pic of it and I'm sharing it with you now.  And only now.  Use it or lose it.

Second Life. I'm in. Now what? (Part III - Find the Free Stuff)

3.  Find the free stuff.

You can have a completely free and fabulous experience in Second Life and you can do it with good quality stuff.  You just need to know where to find it and that's not as hard as you may think since people love to blog and talk about free goodies.

The best way to get the good stuff is to join the groups of good designers and content-creators and to keep an eye out when good designers and content-creators offer gifts or just go to the Second Life marketplace and sort your searches by cost looking for the freebies.

You need to do some research of your own, but here's a head start:

Now take your stuff to a sandbox and rez it, open it, copy it, use it and have fun with it.

Second Life. I'm in. Now what? (Part II - Find and Landmark a Sandbox)

2.  Find a Sandbox

You need a sandbox in order to rez (open and show) stuff that you will need.  Find one you like and landmark (bookmark) it.  You can find one in Search by typing in "sandbox."  Some of the help locations I mentioned earlier have their own sandboxes.

Help Island has a sandbox.
