Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Do you have an email address associated with your account? I created my reddit account before email addresses were required. A couple weeks ago I received a site wide ban for unspecified reasons. On the main web site it just said that I had a permanent ban. But on old.reddit.com, it says "provide an email address to reactivate your account". So in my case the purpose of the ban was simply to force me to give them my email address, which I declined to do.
When a site makes me do that I use one of my domains with a certain four letter word in it beginning with F. I also have a very snarky hotmail account that every year or so I have to take over someones reddit account because they decided to use it. I guess if they force verification that will stop.
four.com?
That's very funny.
Whenever I get prompted for an unverified email address, for example to use wifi in a hotel, I always put [email protected]. Actually, come to think of it, x.com is the new twitter. I have been doing that for many years and never made the connection until now.
