It's a sensitive subject and we want to ensure that everyone feels welcome and at home, and feels safe enough to tell his or her story. Therefore it's very appreciated that you read the rules before you open a topic. This is to prevent removal of topics / messages. Thank you very much.

Psyche: Terms and conditions
● It is not allowed to post comments on topics whose content is a diagnosis. We are not qualified therapists, and posting a possible misdiagnosis can be very confusing. If you believe to be a licensed therapist and want to have the ability to diagnose someone, please contact a moderator or administrator. If you're a certified therapist, recognizable by the green name, and you want to diagnose someone, you should always ask permission to the person which the diagnosis is meant for.
● Detailed information about injuries of self-harm should not be placed. This may be very upsetting for our members and may act as a trigger for others. We find it sad to see that you are struggling with self-harm, and therefore we are here for you. However, please try to make sure that you do not enter too much detail on injuries.
● Direct announcements of suicide should not be placed. Such messages may be very shocking for other members and anxiety / worry awakening, while we are unable to help you. Do you have acute suicidal thoughts? I would advise you to contact 1-800-273-8255 for the Suicidepreventionlifeline. Stay strong, you are valuable and important.

Thanks for reading the rules and conditions. We wish you much strength, and we like to welcome you to The Forum for Mental Health Issues.

Sincerely,
