Use the Trigger Warning (TW) flair for mentions of self-harm, trauma, or heavy topics to protect other members. 4. No Medical Advice We are peers, not doctors. Do not suggest specific medications, dosages, or professional diagnoses. 5. Privacy Matters Don't "post-stalk" members. What is said in this sub stays in this sub.
