Hi there redditor,

I recently joined multiple self help groups advertised here on reddit, some on this subreddit specifically and I really appreciated the concept because of all the nice and understanding people I met there. 

Unfortunately their code of conduct was quite prohibitive and their trigger-lists of topics not to be mentioned ten pages long, not to mention the flood of self diagnosed people with strong ties to tumblr (not a social commentary, just an observation).

Therefore we made a discord group called "the lighthouse" where the *afflicted* are welcome but the tone is more comradely.

We distinctly do not appreciate self diagnosis. That is not to say that you can't join if you have not been diagnosed yet and are obviously suffering from *something*, but you definitely need to have at least intentions of seeing a doctor. It's okay if your circumstances prevent you from doing so.

It primarily consists of BPD patients, but since It's a disorder with such high comorbidity we might as well welcome everybody.

It is meant to be in equal parts a community and self help group.

Feel free to check it out : https://discord.gg/dMvrfvr
