Community safeguards
- No personal information — no full names, phone numbers, emails, addresses, birthdates, or ID and policy numbers, yours or your loved one's.
- No medical advice. Share experience, not prescriptions or dosing.
- Assume every person here is having the hardest week of their life.
- Report anything that feels unsafe. A moderator reviews every report.
