I'm done. Thought I could solve my anger issues. Was going good for a while and then today I lashed out again. Hurt my brother. I can't keep doing this, inflicting pain on others. I need to stop, one way or another.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !mentalhealth@hexbear.net

Community locked: only moderators can create posts. You can still comment on posts.

We are not a crisis service

If you're having an emergency, you can find a directory of hotline numbers here. We can't guarantee an immediate response. This does not mean no one cares. If you see someone posting about an emergency, comment the above link and report the post.

This is not the place for doctor/patient relationships

We do not vet anyone claiming to be a medical professional. You should not expect medical attention from users here. Do not message mods/other users asking for professional support.

No medical advice

You can share personal experiences, but the bottom line is always going to be: If you're unsure and want an opinion on medical science, you should go see a medical professional. This applies to diagnoses as well as medications.

No medical studies looking for participants

Feel like this one is self-explanatory and falls under no self-doxxing anyway.

No stereotyping a mental illness

This includes uncritically presenting stereotypical characters, using a mental illness as an insult, and implying that someone's mental illness isn't "real" because you have different/more severe symptoms.

It's okay to criticize the medicalization of mental health so long as it doesn't amount to gaslighting of other users

There are plenty of issues with the current and historical states of mental health science all over the world. They have stigmatized people within countless marginal communities and continue to to this day. This is not an excuse to tell someone who's had success with therapy and medication that mental health is all bullshit and that their success is somehow fake. This ought to be covered under the sitewide Code of Conduct, but take extra care in these conversations. People have a wide array of triggers.

If a "treatment" is in any way unethical, unapproved, or pseudo-scientific, it should be clearly marked as such

This allows for discussion of historical treatments in context as well as sharing of news on potential treatments who have not undergone ethical human trials. Meanwhile, any attempts to sell/promote snake oil will be met with a ban.

Do not downplay experiences.

We support users here. This is a place for you to post without having someone downplay what you've been through or talk down to you. If that happens, it'll be an immediate ban.
