Hello Open Arms Community! We're beyond excited to roll out a truly special corner of our forum: Personal Stories.
This is a sanctuary for sharing your mental health journey—be it the highs, the lows, or the in-betweens. 🌈
What's the Thought Behind This? 🤔
The power of storytelling is immense. Your experiences can inspire, educate, and even be a lifeline for someone else. By sharing your journey, you're not only empowering yourself but also offering a beacon of hope and wisdom to others navigating similar challenges.
How Does It Work? 🛠️
Send In Your Story: Ready to share? Navigate to our "Send In" page and submit your story. Rest assured, all submissions will be posted anonymously to uphold your privacy.
Review and Post: Our dedicated team will review your story to ensure it's in line with our community guidelines. Once it gets the green light, it will appear in this category for the community to read and learn from.
Community Support: This is a space for reading, commenting, and offering heartfelt support or advice. It's a judgment-free zone, through and through!
Featured Stories: Some stories are just too inspiring to keep to ourselves. With your permission, we may feature your story on our social media platforms.
A Few Ground Rules 📜
Respect and support are non-negotiable here.
Zero Tolerance for Hate: Let's be crystal clear—no form of hate speech, discrimination, or harassment will be tolerated. Comments will be rigorously monitored and any violations will result in immediate action.
If you're offering advice based on personal experience, clarify that you're not a healthcare professional.
Your story could be the guiding light someone desperately needs. 🌟 So, if you've ever thought about sharing, now's the time!
We're eagerly awaiting your stories as we aim to grow and heal together as a community! 🌱
