Honestly, I don't think that many people post those kinds of things on their profiles. I know I haven't come across any that state anything like that, and I don't advertise my PTSD, either. I have shared my anxiety issues with a number of pen pals, and they are very supportive even though they haven't been through anything similar.

I have been able to find support for my disorder on sites such as this one where others have a similar diagnosis. I go to PPW to make friends who are different from me so that I can find more "normal" (for lack of a better word) friends.

Money and job status don't matter so much. I am on disability with no job right now but that doesn't prevent me from making friends, male friends I should say. Many people there don't really care about stuff like that as long as you're good at holding up your end of the conversation and are relatable.
