firetruck them. If they aren't willing to get to know you better before judging you, then they aren't worth you even thinking about them.

I'm really glad that someone started something like this. I'm not currently going through anything, but I am a really good listener and I don't judge others. I happen to be a Christian, so if you're

First of all, about your sister. Being a big sister is hard, I know. My little sister is constantly annoying me too, but what can you do? Try to bond with her at least. Don't have an awkward hat
Hello lovely members! I was thinking today, and I realized that although we may or may not know it, some of our beloved members here may be going through some rough times, whether it be depression, self harm, abuse, or anything really. I thought it'd be a good idea to make a support thread for these members.
As for general advice, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TALK to someone if you need any help. It can be someone on the site, or you can try one of the hotlines (which I will include at the end, in a spoiler). Talk and be honest and know that it's okay to cry and to be weak and to ask for help. There's no shame in getting help, whether it be from a trusted adult or on the internet, just get help!
You are free to ask for advice here if you are comfortable with publicly posting, but I ask for other members to be sympathetic and if you have no advice to give or nothing nice to say, please don't respond to someone's post. We want to help people, not put them down.
If you are not comfortable asking for advice publicly, I will be posting another list, a list of members you can privately message for help. So far it's just me, but if you're interested in helping out and forming a little advice team, message me and I'll add you to the list. As well, if you have any hotline numbers for other countries, please post them so I can add them to the list.
I will also try to post information on different things (like depression, bipolar disorder, sexuality, gender dysphoria, etc)
Also remember, none of us (as far as I know) are professionals! So our advice may not be absolutely perfect, but we'll try to help the best we can.
