Community guidelines
Listen To My Voice is a peer support community. These guidelines keep it warm, safe, and useful.
1. This is peer support, not medical advice
Community posts reflect personal experience and peer knowledge — not professional medical, psychological, or pharmaceutical advice. Do not make diagnosis requests. Do not offer diagnoses. Always consult a qualified clinician for personal health decisions.
2. Be specific and real
The best threads are honest and concrete. "What music helps you when you're frozen?" gets better replies than "Share your tips." Share your actual experience, not generic advice.
3. No shame, no judgment
People are at different stages. Late diagnosis, undiagnosed, questioning, parents figuring things out — all are welcome. No "you should just" language. No one-size-fits-all answers.
4. Respect different experiences
ADHD looks different in different bodies, cultures, ages, and life contexts. What works for you may not work for others. State your experience as your experience, not universal truth.
5. No spam, self-promotion, or ads
Do not post affiliate links, promote services, or spam threads. Product mentions in relevant context (what helps you focus, what you actually use) are fine in passing.
6. Treat moderation with respect
If a post is removed or a thread is closed, it means a guideline was breached. You can contact us if you disagree. Do not re-post removed content.
7. Use the report button
If you see something that violates these guidelines, use the report button. Do not engage or argue — just report and let the moderators handle it.
8. Be kind in tone, not just in content
Disagreement is fine. Contempt is not. If you would not say it to someone's face on a hard day, do not post it.
