An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
I want to be more vulnerable and open with my emotions and feelings, but it has become so reflexive and habitual to shut them down that I dont even know what they are most of the time. Do I need to help myself feel safe? Im not sure
I'd try starting with helping other people be more vulnerable. Reply to some people on here going through difficulties with trouble like you are and be patient listening to them.
Your brain is telling you it's not good or safe to open up, so I'm hoping this would help you experience other people opening up and see it as a positive thing.

Try starting small. You don't have to say all that ails you, but instead try to be more honest when you feel upset/emotional. For example, if someone you know asks how you are, you can, instead of just saying "fine" as usual, say how you feel (tired, a bit depressed, nervous...).
Maybe this isn't the best example, but I just wanted to say that you have to start small, you don't have to open your self too much, you must grow used to it slowly.
I did by vaguely talking about the things that affected me when someone asks and over time I got into more detail untill I could talk about it without crying or shuting down the conversation. Took me about 3 years to do that and I still have things I cant talk about
