I knew before I started emailing my T how insecure email was. I used to work in payroll and trying to beat it into my clients' heads that sending me personal information via email was *strictly prohibited because identity theft* and that if they wanted to do this they needed to log into our secure server blah blah blah (siiiiiigh SIIIIIIGH). I was meticulous - we had locked doors, I shredded everything, we had spot checks to make sure and we were lectured on how unsecure email is.

Since my emails tend to be nothing more than me venting out my emotions, well, okay, if someone reeeeeeeaaaaaallllyyyyyy wants to read my five page email about whatever, *yawn* Well, I can think of better things to do with my time.

As for them "getting out", I'm not concerned. I'm very open about my struggle with depression (and my subsequent treatment) while I don't share the dirty details or talk as in depth about it as other people, I've disarmed people being able to use my mental illness as a weapon. If anything, I think most people would be very heartbroken to realize how utterly despondent I was and wish they could have been there to help more.
