Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATOR NOTE: Sharing thoughts of suicide and self harm are permitted in this instance. It is far better to get these feelings off your chest and share them with people who can help you than to keep them bottled up inside. That's at the heart of this forum. Apoligies to any who experience anxiety or discomfort seeing the subject discussed, but I would encourage you to seek help in processing your trauma rather than trying to silence discussion or avoid the topic entirely.
Encouraging suicide or self harm will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no warnings. Even as a joke.
Wherever you live, there are resources to help you navigate your current emotional state.
