Terms of use

The rules for using this site, in plain language. Last updated 31 August 2026.

Acceptance

By using ConfusedLife.online you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. We may update these terms; continued use after a change means you accept the updated version.

Not professional advice

Everything on this site is general information for educational purposes. It is not medical, psychological, financial, legal or career advice, and it isn't tailored to your circumstances. Nothing here creates a professional relationship between you and us.

Do not use this site as a substitute for assessment or treatment by a qualified professional. Never start, stop or change a prescribed treatment or medication based on anything you read here. The full disclaimer explains this in detail and lists crisis resources.

Acceptable use

You're welcome to read, share and link to anything here. You agree not to:

• Copy substantial parts of the site and republish them as your own work.
• Use the site in any way that is unlawful, or that could damage, disable or impair it.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its host, or related systems.
• Scrape the site in a way that degrades service for other readers, or use its content to train machine learning models for commercial purposes.
• Use automated systems to submit content through our forms.

Content and intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the text, design and code of this site are owned by ConfusedLife.online and protected by applicable copyright law.

You may: quote short extracts with attribution and a link back to the source page; share links freely; print pages for personal, non-commercial use.

You may not: republish full articles or substantial sections, translate and republish them, or sell or license our content — in each case without written permission.

Quotations from other authors remain the property of their respective holders and appear here as brief extracts under fair use or equivalent provisions. Where a quotation's attribution is uncertain we label it "attributed to".

Accuracy

We take care over what we publish and revise guides when we learn something better. Even so, content is provided "as is". We don't warrant that it is complete, current, or free of error, and the field moves faster than any website.

If you find a mistake — particularly a factual or clinical one — please tell us. We'd rather correct it than defend it.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ConfusedLife.online and its contributors are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site — including any decision to seek or not seek professional help.

You remain responsible for your own decisions and for obtaining appropriate professional advice where you need it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Third-party links

We link to external sites — research sources, crisis services, and occasionally other resources. We don't control them, don't necessarily endorse their organisations, and aren't responsible for their content or practices.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available but don't guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of it without notice.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections available to you in your country of residence.
