Resources & Support Links
These links are here as a starting point for crisis help, mental health support, and kink & consent education. They are not exhaustive and may not fit every region.
Important: ABDLCircle and its staff are not therapists, doctors, or lawyers. We can hold space and care about you, but we cannot provide professional medical, legal, or emergency advice.
1. If You Are in Crisis or Immediate Danger
If you are in immediate danger, feel unable to stay safe, or believe you might hurt yourself or someone else, please:
- Call your local emergency number if it is safe to do so.
- Reach out to a crisis hotline in your country or region (suicide prevention, domestic violence, sexual assault support, etc.).
- Use text or chat options if speaking feels impossible — many hotlines provide them.
We encourage you to look up updated crisis lines specific to your area (for example, through government health websites or major NGOs), as numbers and services change over time.
2. Mental Health, Trauma & Neurodivergence
Many ABDLCircle members live with PTSD/CPTSD, anxiety, depression, dissociation, autism, ADHD, and other mental health or neurodivergence experiences. Some general starting points:
- National or regional mental health organizations that provide education around trauma, dissociation, and coping skills.
- Directories for trauma-informed therapists, if you have the ability and safety to seek professional care.
- Peer support organizations and helplines (for example, ones focused on LGBTQ+ people, survivors, or neurodivergent folks).
Online communities like ABDLCircle can offer emotional support and validation, but they are not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment. We encourage you to combine both where possible.
3. Kink, Consent & Relationship Safety
ABDL, regression, and caregiver/little dynamics involve vulnerability, power differences, and strong emotions. Learning about consent and relationship safety is extremely important.
- Educational articles on enthusiastic consent, negotiation, and boundaries in kink / BDSM dynamics.
- Guides on recognizing abusive or coercive behavior in relationships, including when abuse is disguised as “rules” or “discipline.”
- Resources about aftercare, processing triggers, and how to repair when something goes wrong.
If you are unsure whether a dynamic feels healthy, you can always talk to staff in a ticket or reach out to trusted friends or professionals for a reality check.
4. LGBTQ+, Gender & Identity Support
Many people in ABDL and regression spaces are also exploring gender and sexuality. You might be questioning, transitioning, or just figuring out words that feel right.
- National and regional LGBTQ+ organizations that provide education, community, and legal support.
- Trans and non-binary support groups (online or local) that understand dysphoria, euphoria, and transition-related struggles.
- Queer-friendly helplines or peer chat services, where you can talk about identity-related stress without being judged.
ABDLCircle tries to be a safer place for queer and trans folks, but external resources can offer protections and options that a Discord server simply cannot.
5. Online Safety, Privacy & Boundaries
Some quick general reminders for any kink, ABDL, or regression space online:
- Be careful with sharing identifying information (real name, address, workplace, school, etc.).
- Think carefully before sending photos or videos; once shared, they can be copied or saved.
- Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication on your accounts where possible.
- If someone ignores your boundaries or tries to pressure you, leave the conversation and talk to staff or trusted people.
You deserve to feel safe both online and offline. It is okay to log out, go private, or block people if that’s what your safety needs.
