About IsNotOkay.com
A digital sanctuary for the beautifully unhinged, painfully self-aware, and terminally online.
Founded in 2024, IsNotOkay.com is a community platform created for those who feel like they don't quite fit in anywhere else. We're building a network of websites, resources, and connections for people navigating mental health challenges, social isolation, and the complexities of modern existence.
🎯 Our Mission
Why We Exist
In a world where social media often amplifies feelings of isolation and inadequacy, IsNotOkay.com was created to provide a genuine space for connection. We believe that acknowledging our struggles is the first step toward healing.
Our founder, Redacted (who prefers to remain anonymous for privacy reasons), created this platform after experiencing the profound isolation that comes with mental health challenges and finding no suitable online community that felt authentic.
What We're Building
IsNotOkay.com is more than just a website—it's an ecosystem of interconnected platforms designed to support different aspects of mental health, self-expression, and community building.
From anonymous forums to creative outlets, mental health resources to social connections, we're creating a network where everyone can find their niche, express themselves authentically, and connect with others who understand.
💎 Our Values
Authenticity
We embrace the messy reality of being human. No toxic positivity, no filters—just real people sharing real experiences.
Community
We believe in the power of connection. No one should have to navigate their struggles alone.
Safety
We prioritize creating spaces where vulnerability is protected, not exploited.
Mental Health
We acknowledge the reality of mental health challenges and work to destigmatize them through open conversation.
Self-Expression
We celebrate the many ways people express their experiences, from art and writing to memes and TikToks.
Growth
We believe in the possibility of healing and growth, even when it doesn't feel possible.
📖 Founder's Story
Redacted
Founder & Owner
Born in Southern California in 1995, I've spent most of my life feeling like I didn't quite fit in anywhere. At 30, after years of navigating the complexities of Borderline Personality Disorder and other mental health challenges, I realized something important: I wasn't alone in feeling alone.
Through my TikTok content, I found that many others were experiencing the same isolation, the same struggles with mental health, the same difficulty finding genuine connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
I love cats (they're often better company than humans), and I've spent more time than I'd like to admit scrolling through social media looking for some sense of belonging. That search led me to create IsNotOkay.com—a place where not being okay is perfectly okay.
This network isn't just a project for me—it's a lifeline. A way to build the community I've always needed but never found. And hopefully, it can be that for others too.
