Community guidelines

A few quiet rules to keep this place safe for everyone.

Anonymity is sacred

Don't include real names, locations, employers, or other identifying details — yours or anyone else's. If you do, our moderators will redact or reject your submission.

No advice unless asked

Reactions like "I relate" and "You're not alone" are how we respond here. We don't allow comment threads, advice, or judgment.

No hate, no violence, no targeting

Content that attacks a group of people, or threatens harm against anyone, will be removed.

Take care of yourself

If reading or writing is making things worse right now, close the tab. Visit crisis resources if you need someone to talk to.

This is not therapy

We're a storytelling community. We are not licensed mental-health professionals. Please don't use Unsaid Thoughts as a replacement for the care you deserve.
