Calm My Mind is a space for honesty, connection, and calm. We welcome open conversations about mental health, healing, and the human experience — but we also protect our readers, writers, and community members from harm.

These guidelines exist to ensure that everyone who participates — through comments, story submissions, social media, or discussion groups — feels safe, respected, and seen. By engaging with our community, you agree to follow the principles below.

1. Be Respectful

Treat others the way you’d want to be treated when you’re at your most vulnerable. We welcome differences of opinion, but personal attacks, name-calling, or shaming will not be tolerated. Healthy debate is fine; cruelty is not.

2. No Hate or Discrimination

We do not allow language or behaviour that targets anyone based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability, or any personal identity. This platform stands for empathy and inclusion.

3. Protect Privacy

Only share personal details you are comfortable sharing publicly. Never post another person’s private information, images, or experiences without their clear permission. If you share your own story, please remember it becomes part of a public conversation — we edit and moderate with care, but we cannot remove its impact once shared.

4. No Harmful or Dangerous Content

Do not post or encourage:

• Self-harm, suicide, or eating disorder promotion
• Misinformation about health or therapy
• Content that could cause panic or emotional harm to others

If you or someone you know is in danger, please seek immediate professional help or contact your local emergency services. In the UK, you can reach Samaritans at 116 123 (24 hours, free).

5. Stay Authentic

We value honesty. Please do not impersonate anyone, create fake accounts, or share false information. If you quote research or professionals, reference your sources.

6. No Advertising or Spam

Our comment sections and forums are not spaces for unsolicited promotion.

If you wish to collaborate or advertise with Calm My Mind, please reach out directly at hello@calmmymind.com.

7. Moderation and Enforcement

We moderate comments and submissions to maintain a supportive environment. We reserve the right to remove or edit any content that violates these guidelines or the spirit of Calm My Mind. Serious or repeated violations may result in blocking or banning.

8. Protecting Ourselves and Each Other

The Calm My Mind team monitors community spaces but cannot review every comment or post immediately.

If you see something that feels unsafe or harmful, please report it by emailing hello@calmmymind.com.

9. Remember Why We’re Here

Calm My Mind was built for people who want to understand themselves, heal, and connect. This is not a place for perfection — it’s a place for presence.

Let’s help each other stay curious, kind, and calm.
