  • Hello, fellow polar bears.

    I was diagnosed with bipolar in my teens after a mental breakdown, over a decade ago. It's nice to see that that we have a community.

    Can I ask for clarifications on the rules? "We do not allow promotion" does that include links to resources we find? Thank you!

    • Hi, there! Thank you for stopping by. Posting resources you find is allowed - and encouraged! "No promotion" only refers to promoting content for which you would get paid. Please let me know if you have any other questions :)
