Read this before sending me an ask
I'd love to see you in my inbox, but there's a couple things I want you to keep in mind before we start...
I am not a mental health professionals and I am not comfortable trying to be a stand in for one. So...
- Don't ask me to diagnose you
- Don't ask me how to successfully treat or recover from any symptom or disorder
- Don't ask me how to successfully cope with, escape or recover from any traumatic/abusive situation
- Don't ask me to talk you out of self harm or suicide
- Don't ask me to provide in depth educational resources
- Don't ask me how to successfully heal from/move on from something
I am not qualified to speak on every subject out there. So...
- Don't ask me for advice related to studying or working. I am on disability benefits and have no formal education, so I am literally the last person on Earth who you should ask about your homework or your boss.
- There are many marginalized experiences I can't speak on, so don't ask me to SPECIFICALLY speak about being physically disabled, transgender, gay, a person of color, fat, poor or a survivor of childhood trauma. Since I am not any of these things, I won't attempt to speak on behalf of those who are
I am not comfortable with people I don't know using my blog for any kind of promotion, and I have decided not to reblog graphic depictions of suffering here, so...
- I won't be reblogging donation posts.
- I won't be signal boosting anything.
- I won't be reblogging posts not relevant to my blog theme/rules no matter how important
- I won't follow or message you just because you follow me
- I won't let anyone use anon to badmouth other tumblr users
That being said, you are more than welcome to use my inbox to...
- Vent (as long as you don't expect me to provide specific answers to everything)
- Ask me for my opinions/advice (as long as you respect the guidelines listed above)
- Ask me personal questions
- Just tell/ask me whatever!
And if you want to buy me a little treat, I now have a ko-fi:
