Experience Project is the first social experience website where people are connecting with each other around experiences and ideas that matter the most, with people who just "get it." At EP it isn’t about who you know, it’s about who you are. Learn More about Experience Project
The community at EP is made up of many unique individuals who together have created a comfortable place to share and connect. It’s about support, openness, and acceptance.
Armen Berjikly, a Stanford graduate, started Experience Project after first creating a support community for multiple sclerosis patients. Inspired by a friend's diagnosis with the debilitating illness, Berjikly built a positive community chartered on empowering patients through knowledge. Along the way, the anonymous forum portion of the site became the most powerful tool of all—by giving a voice to a group of people known to suffer in silence, and the opportunity to be among new friends who truly understood each other's challenges.

The best way to remain anonymous is to omit revealing details from your stories. Avoid names of people, place names, and other details that could uniquely identify you. These specific details often lend nothing to the emotional impact of the story, and help maintain anonymity.
You are strongly discouraged from using your real name in any public part of EP. It breaks the spirit of the site and can, ironically, prevent you from being yourself. Under no circumstance are you permitted to mention the real name of another member.
There is the option to report the member on the profile page of every member, in the top right hand corner of the page, across from their user name.
There is a spell check button (looks like the letter 'A') on the top right of the story submission box.

Given EP's architecture, where people claim the experiences and topics that are most important to them while remaining anonymous (e.g., we don't know a user's address, phone number, or real name), EP provides advertisers a way to reach the people most receptive to their products-- without overstepping boundaries. Likewise, members can purchase upgraded memberships that provide access to premium features while helping to support the site. With our backgrounds in online health, product management, and an intense passion for our community, we look forward to bringing conversational marketing opportunities without negatively impacting the user experience.
Sure-- please visit our advertising section.
Let us know where you were on the site when the error occurred (looking at you personal messages, browsing confessions, using the random story feature ect.) and what the error was. The more specific you are, the more likely we can figure out what is going on, and get the bug fixed! You can submit your report to: support AT experienceproject.com
Anything you post in a public space online has the possibility of appearing in a search engine, and you must always anticipate that possibility. Many search engines carefully follow strict protocols restricting what they can and cannot index—but unfortunately many others do not. This is why we stress that no personal details be revealed in publicly posted stories that could reasonably identify you (e.g., names, specific locations, etc.). Rarely do these details add anything of value to a story, and they could compromise your identity. For our part, we follow strict protocols developed with Google that they do not archive (story a copy) of stories and public blog posts. Search engines also cannot see your private mail, profile pages, or blogs marked ‘private.’
Please seek professional help immediately—there are dozens of 24/7 crisis lines with helpful, trained professionals worldwide that can immediately help. To that end, Experience Project has put together a list of outside resources. It is important to understand that neither Experience Project nor its members can provide the necessary and timely help for someone facing a crisis. Professional help is critical and should be found immediately.
You should call your local police. Remember, handling a crisis should only be left to trained professionals, none of which are available on this site.
Delete the content and the search engine will quickly update its links. Again, Google is not permitted by us to store a cached copy, so once the link is removed from their database, it is no longer possible to search for it. In extreme situations, please contact us to see if we can help.
