Our Safe Space Guidelines

Welcome to a place where your voice matters, where your thoughts and feelings are heard, respected, and understood. This is not just a space—it's a community, a home for those of us who have felt alone in our struggles, judged for our past, or misunderstood for our pain. Here, you are not alone. Together, we are stronger, and together, we will recover out loud so our friends, our loved ones, stop dying in silence.

This community was created with love, for each of you to feel seen, valued, and supported. We’ve all experienced some form of pain, rejection, or loss, but this is a place where none of that defines you. Instead, it fuels our drive to be better for ourselves and each other. We dedicate our kindness, respect, and understanding to those we’ve lost because of the stigma. We honor their memory by making this space safe for everyone who steps in.

Our Commitment to Each Other:

• Respect Above All: Everyone here has a story, and every story deserves to be heard without judgment or interruption. Respect others as you would want to be respected. Listen to understand, not to respond. We are all walking different paths, and your kindness can make a world of difference to someone who might be struggling in ways you can’t see.

• No Judgment Zone: This is a safe place to share your thoughts, your struggles, your victories, and even your setbacks. We’ve all been there. Nobody here will judge you for your past or where you are on your journey. We’re all in this together, and we know that healing is messy but worth it. Leave the judgment outside and come with an open heart.

• Words Matter: We ask that you speak with compassion. Words can heal, but they can also harm, and we’re here to lift each other up, not tear each other down. If you’re angry or hurting, it’s okay to share that, but do so in a way that respects the feelings of others.

• Support and Encourage: Everyone here is seeking support, just like you. Offer it when you can, and when you need it, don’t be afraid to ask. We are all worthy of love, kindness, and encouragement, no matter where we are in our journey. This is a place to build each other up, not compete or compare.

• No Tolerance for Harmful Behavior: Any form of hate speech, bullying, or harmful behavior will not be tolerated. If you violate this safe space or disrespect anyone here, you will receive a warning. However, if the actions or words are deeply offensive or damaging, I will have no choice but to ban you from the community. I don’t want to do this—none of us deserve to be shut out from support. But we must protect the safety and well-being of everyone here. Don’t let the non-support or rejection you’ve experienced in the past cause you to miss out on this system that’s here for you now.

We Are Here to Heal Together:

This space is for all of us. We’ve lost too many to the silence, to the stigma, to the loneliness of thinking there was no one to turn to. Let’s make sure that stops here. Let’s lift each other up, share our stories, and prove that no matter how broken we feel, we can heal together.

You matter, your story matters, and your voice matters. This community is dedicated to you and to those we’ve lost. We are here to recover loudly, so no one else has to go through it alone.

Thank you for being a part of this journey and thank you for making this space a place where we all belong.
