The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
Okay, buddy, I approved your initial post, despite misgivings. This had the looks of a troll post, possibly someone dropping by from rdrama for a few lulz, but we generally let people have at least one bite at the apple even if they are spinning a rather fabulous tale.
However, that line above sealed the deal for me. You're a troll. FWIW, you aren't shadowbanned. You're just a new user and all the posts you have in the new user filter have to be manually approved by a mod. I'm not going to approve them. I'm going to ban you. Go post your creative writing exercises on /r/relationship_advice, they eat this shit up.
