1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn't an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Every time my brain is telling me it will last forever, even though it will really only be a few hours. But they feel like an eternity. Don't really have anyone to talk to about it (My therapist on Monday, but it's always hard to get going on those convos). No need for sympathy, buy ill take some positive encouragement if anyone has any to spare.

I went through a period where we experimented a lot before finding what works for me. Whether weight gain, insomnia, or (this was cataclysmic) quick enragement, it was all hell. It sucks. It's temporary. Whether this is the right script or you need to keep trying, eventually you'll get there. I never expected to be as happy and emotionally well as I am today. Maintain hope. It might take longer than you want, but you can get to a better place.
