Mental care thread rules

[Gily]

Before posting, please adhere to the following thread rules

1. This thread is not a substitute for mental health treatment/therapy. If you suffer from mental health issues yourself, it is strongly recommended that you seek out professional care.
2. Report any harmful threads literally whenever they're applicable. This includes any content you think may be triggering.
3. Unwarranted advice and insensitivity is prohibited. Be mindful of other’s experiences when replying to them.
4. Exercise self awareness when sharing your experiences for your own safety. Being a public forum, oversharing can be dangerous. Conversely, you are not to take advantage of anyone’s vulnerability in this space for any reason.
5. Think of this as a place to vent/ask for advice rather than a safe space. We can try, but unfortunately not assure, that this is a safe space because the definition of “safe” is different for every person and can vary by topic. With that in mind, we reserve the right to remove any posts that may indirectly put the user or other users at risk of harm. Involved parties will be contacted to ensure everyone is on the same page.
