Ok here we go...

Before anything I have always said this, and I feel the need to repeat myself right now because some people just don’t seem to understand. This is not a place to judge or to criticize others, especially those who are vulnerable and use this as a safe space to talk about very personal things/feelings.

Before posting something negative on someone else’s post I just ask people to remind themselves that we are almost all here for the same reasons. We are all dealing with almost the same battles. Regardless, we are all battling! Yes, some of us through tougher situations sometimes. Most of us have no one to talk to, so opening up on here and feeling vulnerable to complete strangers is a huge step. All I’m trying to get at is that we should be mindful of others and show them respect. All I ask is that if you feel the need to post some negative comment on anyone’s post, to ask yourself these things first, (am I perfect?)

Have I ever made any type of regrettable decision or decisions in my life? Have I made some not very proud choices? The truth is, we all have! We try to grow and learn from them though.

I joined this community/app for the sole purpose of being able to come here and vent and being able to share with others the things I have been through, wether it be from my past or present. DO NOT JUDGE US! DO NOT JUDGE ME! DO NOT JUDGE ANYONE!

***EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND AND A HAPPY FRIDAY NIGHT!***

You are so right!!! When we write on here, we become the most vulnerable. Why can't everyone, here and in general public and so on, try to lift each other up. Imagine, go ahead take a couple minutes, but think how much better this country would be if all we did was lift each other up?? If you can't help, don't have any suggestions or ideas, that's ok. Im giving away my age but I was taught, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything!! Now, I'm not perfect and I have said negative things and not always up lifting. Although I do try! Before you post something negative, stop and think, what I be ok seeing that same post on my post??? Hugs and prayers!! Night everyone!

Thanks for posting.. I couldn’t agree with you more.. and I think people posting unconstructively negative replies should be reported and barred from posting privileges. Causing potential harm to vulnerable individuals (including all of us on this mental health site) is Totally Unacceptable & Unwarranted!!!

Exactly I just think of it as someone could be on their last straw and them feeling open enough to share and post on here, and someone just feeling the need to comment something negative could cause harm to that person 😢😢
