Contact Circles Support

by @wwoodstock

Love the concept of this app, in reality not as professionally executed as I hoped especially for between a $15-$30 /month fee depending on the plan you choose. Though it was nice to have the group chat format- many groups are actually led by your peers and not professionals. Or, a “circles expert” which is actually not a licensed mental health professional but someone with “experience.” While the camaraderie of the group chats can be nice at times, at least just as many times I found groups to be the “Wild West” with little structure and lacked the boundaries a well qualified leader would provide. Also many examples of rampantly erroneous “recommendations” based on religious or personal beliefs propagated as fact - when these group leaders actually have no formal credentials in mental health. Though cheaper than therapy , there are plenty of free platforms or support groups to go on and share and get the same quality of content and opinions from lay or “experienced” people. I expected more from a paid service, and would rather not spend my hard earned money to roll the dice on whether I will learn something useful- or a poorly qualified group leader or attendee giving “advise” that serves little more than a soap box to their own personal experiences/opinions and /or religious beliefs.

I posted a question in a chat room on this app months ago, and I'm told there is no way to go and see if there was an answer to my question. I've been told that I'm the only one who's ever asked to look for a way to easily find a previous post to my question. i'm told there is no way to do this and I will have to scroll back months of chat room messages between 13,000 or more participants in order to find the one post that I had posted back in November. This seems outrageous to me, and only something that will make people who are already stressed out even more frustrated than they already are. You need to seriously reconsider how you've constructed your app because it's counterproductive and only has served to to make life more difficult

I have not been on this app in a few months. I have really been going through some things and needed some support, so I just opened it. It’s wanting payment for monthly fee or I can start a free trial. When did this come about? It had never asked me about that before. Never said anything about cost. This was a good thing when I first downloaded it and signed up. I guess that almighty dollar has gotten in the way… realized you can probably make really good money off of it. it’s just a shame.
I have no insurance. This was my help. I’m now unemployed again, so I have no money for a monthly subscription. People and their well-being should be more important than your pocket. This world is such a disappointment..
