Look, I love a good conversation. But this is my living room, not a Facebook thread. So here’s how we do things around here:

• Stay on topic. If it doesn’t relate to the post or the conversation, it’s getting the boot. This isn’t the place to debate your cousin’s politics or fight with strangers.
• No name-calling. You get one warning. After that, your comments go poof until you can play nice.
• Don’t be abusive. I don’t care if you’re having a bad day — we all do. But you don’t get to take it out on anyone here.
• Skip the treatment advice. Please don’t suggest meds, dosages, or anything that sounds like you’re trying to play doctor. It’s risky, it’s not safe, and I’ll have to delete it. Let’s not get anyone hurt (or sued).
• Leave full names out of it. Talking about other people? Cool. Using their full legal name like you’re submitting a police report? Not so cool. Protect your peace—and your legal standing.
• Don’t share suicide plans. We can talk about the feelings, the darkness, the struggle. But graphic details or step-by-steps? No. This isn’t the place, and I won’t let this space become unsafe for others who are already hurting.
• Be kind. Be human. That’s it. You don’t have to agree with everyone (or me), but basic decency is non-negotiable.

Basically: Don’t be a jerk. We’re all doing our best here.

Be cool, stay kind, and don’t make me put on my Mom Voice.

All comments are moderated — sometimes before posting, sometimes after. If you see something nasty that slipped through, please flag it or shoot me a message (moodswingsandcoffee2@gmail.com). I want this to be a safe and supportive space.
