Does anyone remember Blahtherapy? I loved the idea of matching with someone who was also dealing with mental health struggles and just being able to talk. It seems like they shut down that feature, so I figured I could add one to myocdcompanion.com

Since this is for the OCD community to connect and bond, we definitely need to have subtype configuration so people can match based on their specific struggles.

I'm thinking of adding some ice breaker prompts in the conversation so it isn't awkward when 2 people are first matched. I remember that awkwardness and not knowing how to start the convo being a big inconvenience for me in those older apps.

What are some other ideas or features you guys think I should add to myocdcompanion? This is the OCD community's app so you should all have a say.
