Open to everyone, but especially for those suffering from mental illness. Stigma-free.

RULES:

Wheaton's law applies.
This subreddit is a place to hang out and relax, but also to both vent and share successes related to your mental health or life circumstances. Feel free to share whatever you like as long as you don't promote self-harming behavior. (To clarify, you're allowed to talk about doing it, but not to tell others to do it).
Speaking of which, instigating or promoting self-harm behaviors will earn you a ban without warning. We take that shit seriously here.
Grey-area stuff regarding the above (like sharing a method to self-harm without meaning to promote it) will result in the comment or post being deleted. You will be required to edit it before reapproval.
You get three strikes regarding harassment of other users, and then you're banned.
Acceptance and chillness level: r/trees. Be that friendly.
Be sensitive to others! This isn't a hugbox by any means, but there's a nice way to criticize someone's behavior, and there's a not-so-nice way; and the not-so-nice way doesn't do anything to help anyone. We'll probably update this part eventually with a few guidelines re: criticism. For the moment, we don't like the word "should."
If you are suicidal please talk to someone in r/suicidewatch or call 1-800-273-8255 (US & Canada) or 08457 90 90 90 in the UK. Also see here and read this. Also check this post and this post for more resources, mental health apps, and mental health subreddits.
