If you said yes to the last question would you still change what you post if you strongly felt that your therapist didn’t know it was you posting and wouldn’t figure out your real identity (somehow feels almost like a "super hero" sort of question, but then again in my option so many of you really are super heroes, you have so much to deal with but you haven’t given up, against unimaginable odds you keep fighting the good fight)

my therapist was the one that told me about this website so I know she is reading here. when my therapist told me about this place I got the feeling that it was a good place, (she wouldnt have recommended it otherwise.) I felt real good knowing my therapist was on here, to me it's sort of like the feeling you get when someone recommends a 5 star hotel - someone else checked it out and it worked for them so why not give it a try..
yes my therapist recognizes my posts here, we have had many discussions over the past 2 plus years I have been visiting this website.
knowing my therapist is here would I change my posts no. my posts are wrote according to the rules of this website not according to the rules of my therapist.
I also know that its just common sense to be careful on the internet. from what I have read PC isnt set up so that those outside pc cant read here. I was reading these boards two months before I registered, as can anyone else who googles any mental or physical health issues.
I follow the rule that if its something I would not yell from the roof tops on a clear sunny day when the whole town is out on the streets milling about, listening, gossiping, what have you, then I dont post it.
plus my own motto for me , is if its something you cant talk about with your family, friends, co workers, neighbors, the whole town alike then it doesnt belong on the internet, regardless of what kind of website it is.
