Subreddit Rules
- Relevance: All posts must be related to anxiety disorders.
- Be Supportive: We are a supportive community. Please comment positively and treat others with respect. You are free to disagree, but do so politely.
- Anxiety is not rational. There will be users with issues that are different from your own experiences. Some may seem outlandish or made-up.

- Be Mindful of Triggers: Please be mindful of common triggers. If your post or comment includes something that could be triggering, say so in your title or in the first line of your comment.
- No 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. Here is a link with more information: [Reduce Reassurance Seeking] (https://www.nscenterforanxiety.com/blog/2018/7/23/reducing-reassurance-seeking).
