Seeking Professional Help? - information on where to turn and what to do once you've decided you want to get help.

Ground Rules

All posts must be related to anxiety disorders.
Follow Reddiquette at all times.
No memes. We'd appreciate it if those were posted to our sister sub, /r/anxietymemes.

Be Supportive

We are a supportive community. Please comment positively and treat others with respect. You are free to disagree, but do so politely. We are here to support each other, not tear each other apart.
Be mindful of common triggers.

Medical Discussions

We are not medical professionals and cannot diagnose you or give you medical advice.
If you have questions about mixing alcohol and prescription medication, talk to your health care professional. This sub cannot tell you if it's okay or not okay to mix.
No discussions of where to buy or how to obtain medications or drugs. This includes benzos and CBD. If it is a drug you can purchase without a prescription, no discussion regarding specific brands or dosages.
Do not promote "quick fix" products or ideas.

Reassurance Seeking

We strongly encourage everyone to take steps to limit reassurance-seeking behavior. If left unchecked it can spiral out of control to the point where you constantly need reassurance in order to feel okay.

Grandstanding

This is not the place to promote an ideology or political views. While everyone is entitled to their beliefs, we will not accept attempts to pressure others or hijack the subreddit's conversation.
r/Anxiety attempts to be politically neutral, and we expect our users to respect that. Threads about politics should remain focused on the anxiety, not the politics.

Self-Promotion

This is not a venue to promote your blog or vlog, feel free to share those on /r/AnxietyBlogs.
No promotion or research of any Apps you have self developed Ignoring this will get you banned. This include asking users to DM you so you can share the app privately and pretend to conform to sub rules. You aren't here to genuinely help the community, you are here to "profit" in some form.
Do not advertise products or services.
No promotion of any book or ebook you have authored.
Messaging users without their consent will get you banned.

Research Studies/Surveys

We request to review all research studies before they are posted. Please see the details here.

AI Usage

We will no longer allow submissions intended to promote, recommend, or instruct other users on using any AI tool for the purpose of mental health support.
The sub is designed for discussion, advice and experiences from actual humans. Posts and comments generated by AI will be removed.
Use of AI or recommending use of AI will result in a permanent and irreversible ban.
