r/emotionalsupport is a subreddit with 8k members. The community frequently discusses emotional, support, loneliness, confusion, and relationship, and the most common flair used is looking for advice/help, vent, other, providing advice/support, and need comfort.
Sometimes we all just need a shoulder to lay our weary heads on. Might as well be a digital/metaphorical head. A place to feel welcome and get positive messages during trying times.
If you need emergency help/advice, do not wait for us. Contact the authorities or dial your country's emergency number ASAP!
