The rules
This room only works if everyone can trust it. These rules protect the people writing here, and the people they write about.
TheSafeRoom is for adults aged 18 or over.
Please do
- Write about your own life and your own feelings, as honestly as you like.
- Keep other people anonymous. Change or leave out details that could identify them.
- Reply when a post feels true to you, or when you just want someone to feel heard.
- Only share someone's post where they've allowed it.
Please don't post
- Names, addresses, workplaces, or anything else that identifies a real person.
- Threats, harassment, or hatred towards a person or group.
- Anything encouraging or instructing suicide, self-harm or eating disorders.
- Sexual content, or anything that sexualizes or harms a child.
- Plans for violence or other crimes.
- Scams, spam, advertising, links, or requests for money or contact.
How reports work
Anyone can report a post, anonymously. A post is hidden automatically when several different people report it, or straight away if a report says it harms a child. A moderator then restores it, or removes it for good. Hidden posts can still be taken back by their writer.
Because posts are anonymous, we can't tell a writer why a post was removed, and we can't put you in touch with a writer.
If you're struggling
Writing about pain is welcome here. If you're thinking of harming yourself, please use the helplines linked at the bottom of every page. They're free, and they're there to listen.
