Getting Support at ABDLCircle

Everyday Support & Soft-Space Channels

Soft-space channels are there for “I’m overwhelmed and squishy” moments:

• Meltdowns, spiral thoughts, or “everything hurts and I’m tired.”
• Craving caregiver energy, cuddles, or gentle reassurance.
• Sharing progress, grounding wins, or “I got through today somehow.”

Other members might respond with validation, grounding ideas, or just wholesome chaos. Staff keep an eye on things to make sure no one is pushed past their limits.

When to Open a Support Ticket

Tickets are best for things that need privacy, staff decisions, or follow-up:

• Harassment, bullying, or repeated boundary violations.
• Worries about another member’s behavior or safety.
• Confusion about rules, moderation actions, or staff messages.
• Requests for role changes, channel access, or safety adjustments.

Inside the server, look for the channel with ticket buttons or commands. If you can’t find it, you can always ask in a general channel or DM staff.

What Staff Can — and Can’t — Do

Staff can:

• Listen, reflect, and validate your experiences.
• Explain rules, help repair conflicts, and set boundaries.
• Adjust your roles or access to make things feel safer.

Staff cannot:

• Provide professional therapy or medical advice.
• Handle emergency situations or welfare checks on their own.
• Control what happens outside the server (other servers, social media, etc.).

We’ll always try to be honest about what we can offer instead of overpromising.

Crisis & Outside Resources

If you are in immediate danger or feel you might seriously harm yourself or someone else, please contact:

• Your local emergency number (like 911, 999, 112).
• A crisis hotline or text line in your region.
• Mental health services or trusted medical providers.

Our Resources page lists options for different countries. You are worth the effort of reaching out.
