- Be kind and civil. No bigotry/prejudice either.
- No victim blaming. Nor giving incredibly simplistic solutions (i.e. You have ADHD? Just focus easier.)

Hey! I personally have C-PTSD. The reason for mine is a bit personal, but I'm sure I can offer some support and advice if you need any.
My community is more general purpose, but C-PTSD evidence-based resources (such as scientific positive psychology research on resilience, mindfulness, etc.) is literally the top thing in my to-do list.
Expect a C-PTSD resources post within 24 hours from now in !Help_Others@lemmy.blahaj.zone
And of course, if you post a specific question, I'll answer it there as well. It's still a new community, so please share it with everyone you know!
Hey there! Yes please, I'd deeply appreciate that! And thank you for the effort of all this, I'll go check it out right now!
I also heard there's a community here called "communitypromo" or something that people sometimes refer to, maybe try posting there and see if it helps attract more people to your community? No clue how effective it is though, but can't hurt to try I guess!
Posted! I'll finish updating this with more resources by next week: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/23037245
Thank you for letting me know about communitypromo! I'll check it out.
Interesting community you have. I have added it to the sidebar
Oh my gosh, thank you so much. 🥺 If you know of any evidence-based mental health resources, I'll create a post of them.
I will, thanks and no problem :)
