well i fortunately dont have the fear about my therapist reading this, as she was the one that reccomended me to this site and ive already told her shes more than welcome to read my posts. i speak to her about everything, so nothing would be new to her.

i do fear about family and friends finding this site, but if you have noticed, many of the pages of posts have disappeared, which means the posts have been deleted (old ones), so if my family or friends came here they wouldnt be able to find out that much because all the severe, deep stuff i have felt i posted a while back, now its more support i offer. if new people were to look at the site, they wouldnt know how you feel. they wouldnt be able to read every single post you have posted because they no longer are in the forums.

once i realised that the posts are no longer here, i feel far better. i no longer worry about fa,ily or friends finding this place. and i was never worried about my therapist reading my posts, because i am as honest here as i am to her, and i have been going to her for 4 years now so she knows everything.

if you fear your therapist will read something you havent yet spoken to her about, she will understand that it is easier to speak about issues here, and that you might not be ready to speak to her. she will recognise that you are talking to others about how you feel and as long as it is helping you progress through your depression etc, how can she complain. it is for the best that you post here, so she cant hold a grudge, because you are healing yourself. do you understand what i mean?
