- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Not great.
My girlfriend has mysteriously disappeared. I haven't heard from her in 2 weeks and don't know where she is. This isn't the first time this has happened, and the last time was because her work made her travel last minute to somewhere where her phone didn't work. But after that happened, we set up a messaging app to talk to each other so that it wouldn't happen again. I'm sure there's some reasonable explanation for the situation, but it is still very painful and anxiety-inducing.
On top of that, my request for medical accommodations to continue working from home rather than being forced back to the office (on the grounds of a doctor's note from my therapist) has been denied by my company's bullshit HR process. The email they sent my manager made it clear that they basically just don't consider invisible disabilities to be real disabilities. I'm going to fight it through my union, but it's far more headache than I expected to have to deal with right now.
