At Trapped Minds, we offer an environment where individuals get a chance to share about their lives, experience life together, and share lives. Whether your chat is about movies, parenting, or something more intimate, we aim to provide a welcoming, secure community. We, Trapped Minds, are the people behind this site, and we're here for maintaining everything smoothly in operation.
To access Trapped Minds, you need to be 18 or above. You shouldn't join if you're younger than that! By signing up, you're acknowledging that you're 18 or older.
We regularly assess the site to ensure it’s a safe space for everyone. This includes checking for illegal content or anything that could potentially cause harm. We follow safety regulations and keep up with changes to laws like the UK Online Safety Act 2023 to make sure we’re doing our part.
Trapped Minds wants to assist in creating a positive and supportive community. Keep in mind that mental health issues are sensitive. This is how we invite you to participate:
- Be considerate, respectful, and understanding
- Encourage one another and stay positive
- Share your experience but never compromise others' privacy
- If you're ever in doubt about how to go about a subject, it's always wise to lean toward compassion
Although we do desire an open and honest environment, there are certain things we just will not tolerate:
- Anything offensive, hateful, or hurtful
- Defamation, harassment, or abuse in any form
- Material that invades another person's privacy, such as disclosing personal information without permission
- Anything that fosters criminal behavior or transgresses the law
If content is inappropriate or harmful, we will remove it. And if we need to, we will temporarily or permanently suspend accounts.

Please do not share what would be considered your personal or confidential information—let's keep everything safe and considerate for all.
We know that mental health is a large component of life, and we're here for each other. Feel free to share your ideas if you're struggling or go chat with others. Our community is all about helping one another and sharing experiences.
