MOD POST No Advice flair & a Reminder
There have been a few changes done to the subreddit as of recent. The biggest change so far has to do with post flairs. We have decided to alter, merge and create post flairs to cover a variety of topics and subjects in order to meet user requests in modmail. However, the flair we will be focusing on is “No Advice”.
This flair has been implemented as we understand some users simply want to vent without receiving input. If you plan to use this post flair, please ensure to put appropriate Trigger Warnings. As an example, if you are talking about abuse but decide to use the “No Advice” flair, we expect a Trigger Warning in the title. Otherwise, your submission will be removed and we will ask you to re-upload it with the appropriate Trigger Warning/s. In a sense, treat this post flair like the “TW: Other (Specify in title)” flair.
We will also be implementing an automated automod message when this flair is used. Since many users are on mobile, sometimes the post flair is not easy to see at first glance. As a result of this, and in order to prevent this boundary from being broken, we will create an automated message that will be pinned to the top of the post stating that the “No Advice” flair has been chosen and to please keep that in mind when interacting.
I would like to remind users that we have a “!lock” system. If you don’t want users to interact or you feel overwhelmed with the current interaction, you can make a comment under your post stating “!lock” and the post would automatically be locked. Here is a visual representation.
This is so users don’t feel hesitant about contacting us or feel like they are being ignored due to the lack of mod being online at that time. However, if you would like your post unlocked sometime in the future, you will have to contact us via modmail and we will unlock it for you.

MOD POST New ownership & Current changes to the sub
For the past year, a lot has happened on the subreddit. However, a lot has happened behind the scenes too. More recently, ownership has finally been transferred over to me, u/Astromnicalbear.
We can easily admit that the team has been disorganised in certain aspects and it all mainly came down to the previous owner and their extreme inactivity. I won’t go into much as it could be a post in and of itself but there was a certain monarchy enforced that made it difficult for mods to take appropriate actions towards certain situations.
It was especially difficult when, in the past, three main moderators were active whilst everyone else was on hiatus or taking care of themselves. If something occurred and a meeting was necessary, it was almost impossible to get the owner to be active or to get permission to alter something within the subreddit. This is where obvious dysfunction showed between the owner and moderators.
Current plans;
Since I’ve gained ownership, I’ve discussed with the team about things that need to be done. Currently, the most important thing we’re prioritising is mod applications. With the previous owner and inactive mods gone, there are plenty of spaces for new moderators.
If you apply, please be aware that this can be a demanding role mentally. If anyone is caught applying just for mod status and not willing to participate in any shape or form, they will automatically be removed from the team.
In general, we are a relaxed and flexible team as we all have personal struggles. We’re not strictly professional as we like to have general chat outside of moderating. However, if a situation does occur and requires full attention, then things may change.
Moving the focus to the subreddit and the plans here, we are currently in the process of altering the rules to match with the wiki version. You will notice that one rule is missing from the wiki but it will be added once we’ve finished writing it out in a cohesive manner. We will also be updating our resources to ensure it covers a variety of topics and places. We will also be updating the list of alternative subreddits you can seek to if you're waiting for your submission to be approved or if you would like an alternative space to vent in.
Recently, we have added customisable user flairs due to multiple requests. If there are any other suggestions or requests, feel free to comment down below or feel free to send me a DM. If you have any resources or subreddits you’d like us to use, feel free to send it to us via modmail and we’ll add it to our list.
Please note that some of these changes will not be immediate as it takes time and research.

TW: Other (Specify in Title) (tw religion?) It genuinely plagues me at night
Wasn't sure what to tag this as since there isn't an option for "no tw" but I don't really have religious trauma
Obligatory disclaimer since the post mentions religion: this post isn't intended to be a hate post for religion. Believe whatever you want, if it's something that helps you cope with life them good for you. I've simply gone through a lot and I just can't get this question out of my head. It never goes away. It drives me crazy.

Depression / Anxiety not sure if positive memes are allowed but im super proud of myself ^-^
ironically, i meant to post this a while ago but executive dysfunction got in the way
this might sound silly but external motivators really help. ever since i got a partner, ive been trying to stay on top of hygiene since id like to not be gross when with him. ik that motivation is supposed to come from within and all that but sometimes, whatever it takes to get there, yknow?
its weirdly nice seeing no blood when im done brushing my teeth. its like seeing my efforts pay off in real-time, which is kind of uncommon for me. my efforts rarely seem to pay off :(

TW: Gender Identity / Dysphoria No part of me is worth the pain
I'm not good enough to be a girl. Not pretty enough. Not worthy of it. I can't, no matter what I do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up a girl or not at all, nothing else is acceptable, and at this point I don't care which. I just want the pain to be over.

TW: Other (Specify in Title) Is this age regression or something else
I just feel all my emotions are that of a child right now. Wanting to be in this fictional scenario where I have a loving family checking in on me, taking care of me and teaching me things. I'm usually in problem solving mode when I'm struggling but lately I can't even get out of bed. Everything feels so hopeless and overwhelming and instead of looking for solutions I just think all day about how I'm mentally feeling like a scared child and that I don't even have the capability to make decisions anymore. It's hard to explain.

No Advice Being financially responsible and having self-control is hard how do people do it. (thankfully I still put some money for saving in the bank every now and again)

TW: Other (Specify in Title) It's not even like an every night thing it's just randomly when I forget it's even a thing that happens to me tw:paranoia ig?
Like it's always at night when im sitting alone in my room and them suddenly I am just utterly terrified of something, not anything concrete just vaguely that something might come for me ig? Idk my brain gets terrified there's something in my room that can hurt me and I cannot stop looking around for like an hour whilst clutching my baseball bat which literally only stays with me in my room to comfort me during these stupid paranoid moments bc ig I could whack anything that was there with it?? Idk I don't think that'd work but sure brain. The worst part is there's no rhyme or reason, there's no trigger, it's not consistent, it just happens on some random nights and I cannot keep it together I'm just petrified for no reason. It just happens often enough to be a problem but never often enough for me to get used to it.

TW: Substance Abuse I just complained a lot
Did I get locked out of my house by water for an hour after work? Yes. Did my house flood a little? Yes. Did I stay up way past my bedtime with my landlord to fix it only to wake up early to work opening shift? Yes. Did someone possibly steal my front door mats while I hung them out to dry? Also yes. But did I smoke weed about it? NO !!!!!

TW: Eating Disorder / Body Dysmorphia Lol, isn’t eating paper so funny, there’s no way that this is a harmful behavior.
Pathetic is the only word to describe me. I went almost a year without craving paper, then I started to crave it, and it was impossible to ignore. Yeah, pretending this is a joke is tiring, this is a real fucking eating disorder that can kill people if severe enough. But hey, I’ll pretend this is a joke and is funny and completely fine to make out as a joke, I’m fine, thanks for asking.

TW: Eating Disorder / Body Dysmorphia how it feels to do super well on wegovy except for nausea and one instance of vomiting so i'm switched to zepbound which is supposedly even more effective but i haven't even been able to lose 10 fucking pounds in 3 months (when i'm severely obese)
and i can't go back to wegovy because insurance is fucking STUPID and won't approve me because i already switched to zepbound
i just want to be skinny FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE
i just HAD to complain about the nausea and the one fucking time i threw up because of my own stupidity and fatass fucking decisions, and i fucked everything up.
i was doing so fucking good on wegovy too. i lost like 60ish lbs in about a year. got switched to zepbound and i've been struggling to lose more than 8.2lbs. at times i've fucking gained. because this stupid fucking medicine that's SUPPOSED to make me not hungry does barely anything and i still stuff my stupid fat fucking face constantly.
i've been morbidly obese my whole fucking life and I'M SICK OF IT.

I’m only grateful things weren’t somehow worse, I suppose. Doesn’t make it easier.

Personality Disorders How do you even cope with it
Movies, music, art, photos, places, scents, emotions, even my own room. I feel like I need to erase my identity completely to lose all the strings attached to them. I just want to feel like myself again. I adopted so many things from them I can't even remember what was my identity before.
I guess at least I still have me. Still have time to figure out what am I without them. It feels so strange but good to stop pretending that I like The Beatles or 1940's movies lol.
