Nothing under my code names. Quite a bit under my real name, including 2 pictures I had no idea were online. I write a lot of letters to the editor, and some articles for newsletters, testify at public meetings, so that's why. I do check my name from time to time. One time, I was s shocked to see a very old newspaper article from when I was "out" about my bipolar. That article was published years and years before the internet even existed! It was never intended to be read in perpetuity. Some mental health organization had put it on their website. So when I googled my name, there I was -- immediately at the top of the page identified as bipolar. I immediately wrote to the organization saying they must take it down, and they did. Whew.
