Hey everybody, 

So like, recently I've seen a handful of people concerned that the sub isn't that positive and that we don't get enough positive interaction with posts. Likewise, when people *do* post positive content, it seems to get downvoted instead of upvoted (although as I'm typing this, one of the hottest posts today is a positive post!! so that's great :D).

I had a few ideas?? Like, something we can all agree as community members to do is upvoting any post we see flaired as "Positivity". That's a no-brainer, though. Another idea I thought of was having some sort of "day of positivity" or something where we all try to make a conscious effort to post about positive things happening in our lives/days. 

Or, like, when we are having a bad day and want to vent, maybe make the venting post *then* make another post that focuses on positivity... like: "i feel so alone today for such and such reasons" as a venting post and then "the breeze feels wonderful on my cheeks when i step outside" as a positivity post"... sorry, that sounds really dumb but I think you guys kinda get what i mean, right? 

Another idea I thought of was perhaps creating a "positivity" thread? Like weekly or monthly, similar to the DAE thread? But I believe the whole sub needs a dose of positivity, so I feel like concentrating it to one masterpost would be kinda defeating the purpose. 

I don't know, does anyone else have any ideas? Because I really want to help bring some positivity to the sub. And, as it grows and gets more traffic, I want people to see that there is a good balance of positive/negative here !!! We are a sub dedicated to supporting the BPD people of this world and those who want to learn about it. We are all-encompassing. 

Also, I plan on adding lots of BPD sister-subs to our sidebar!! So look out for that!! And btw, those of you who do not have BPD, check out r/BPDpartners! it's a new sub that's pwBPD friendly dedicated to those who do not have BPD! An alternative to the "sub-that-shall-not-be-named" ;-) Disclaimer: I'm not sending people without BPD to this sub to stay there forever!! It's just a safe space for those without BPD :-) everyone is welcome at r/BPD, as per rule 1!!!!
