I need the opinions of the SP community!
There are 2 rules on SP: No methods, No hate. This means, inherently, for now, there are no rules against speaking about “taboo” topics and struggles.
My belief is that stigmatizing certain struggles makes them that much more difficult to address. Someone who would benefit from talking about uncommon behaviors, for example, loses that benefit the moment others deem it taboo or unfit for discussion.
I am someone who struggles with difficult sicknesses, two of which are particularly sensitive. Some of you have expressed that you also experience such struggles.
As long as a Sensitivity Warning is given at the beginning of a post (to protect those who would be triggered), what do you all think: Can we be mature enough and compassionate enough with one another to allow for posts like that?
Please leave your opinion in a comment below. Thanks!

The door is always open for me, bottling up is worse than getting it out. If you bottle stuff up, it just gets nastier. Keeping it inside, it’ll just eat at you, that’s what makes you sicker.
So say whatever you need to say, if you need a disclaimer, do that. Pretty much the whole point of this place is somewhere to let out those goblins and monsters that have no other place to release. To deal with the nightmares that we dare not speak of elsewhere, this is the place that feels safe to do that.
So if I can extend that safety to someone else, please take some of that with my gratitude.
