What was actually going on when you said it?

Private by default. You decide whether it’s ever shared — and you can change your mind at any time. Saying it to one person who doesn’t recoil is where shame starts losing its grip. Let that person be us.

Name or initials (optional)

Email (optional)

Only needed if you want us to ask before publishing.

A title or first line (optional)

Your story

How may we use it? Keep it private — I just wanted to say it. You may publish it anonymously (edited to remove identifying details). You may publish it with my first name or initials.

If you choose to allow publishing, we’ll still contact you with the edited version for final written approval first (so leave an email).

I am 18 or older. This is my own experience, and I haven’t included details that would identify someone else. I understand I can withdraw permission at any time by emailing you, and that I’M GOOD is not a crisis or counselling service.
