I agree with "lunaticfringe" who cares? It is not like they are your neighbor and you might bump into them and then they can judge you because you posted a post on the forum. How would they know you did that or even know it was you? They don't know you they cannot see you. You have a fake name and we don't give our addresses out so what does it matter. We are here just to support each other and get through the day. We are all just people here and all we know is what we tell each other and post here and that's the end of it. The only other thing you can do which would not be public would be to go to counseling one on one and then no one else would know anything at all about you then you wouldn't have to worry about a public forum. I mean how could a free place like this that is so helpful an I am sure has saved many lives do one on one counseling and not be public. Just try to keep in your mind how much help you have gotten from being here and always know you can come here and just babble or get things off your chest and actual people will support you and try and help you. For me that is priceless!
