Guidelines
How we keep this place kind
Everyone here is either going through something or remembers what it felt like. That's the whole standard.
Peer support, not treatment. Everything here comes from people describing what they personally lived through. Nobody is a verified therapist, doctor or mental-health professional. If you need clinical care, please also speak to a professional — see safety resources.
Please do
- Speak from your own experience — what happened to you and what helped
- Be gentle with people who are still in the hardest part
- Say when something is just your opinion
- Encourage professional support where it makes sense
Never
- No medical, medication or diagnostic instructions
- No harassment, bullying, mockery or blame
- No encouraging self-harm, disordered eating or drug misuse
- No spam, selling, scams or recruiting into programmes
- No sharing someone else's private information
Moderation
Reports go to human moderators. Dangerous advice is removed quickly, repeat offenders lose posting access, and crisis-risk posts trigger a supportive prompt with safety resources.
