Facebook was very bad for me in the past. I had delusions I was being plotted against. People were networking to make me kill myself. It was horrible. Also, when manic, (Especially drinking while manic) I made some terrible posts, that I wish I could erase.
I was told by mental health professionals that facebook is not good for many people with mental health disorders. They told the entire group of us to get off facebook as soon as possible. This is a bit generalized, but I'd bet you that many mentally ill people have challenges with facebook that non mentally ill people do not.
I just started using facebook again. I only have a couple people on there, and most know about my illness. I like the groups that facebook offers, and it's good for me to socialize, as I'm pretty socially isolated right now. I'm hoping I can do well with facebook this time around.
