I dont consider psych central a "social networking site" for me psych central is a mental health website where I can come to help others with their mental health problems that I have had problems with, let people know what I and my own treatment providers are/ have done and if Im having a hard time I come here and read posts about the same issues, which gives me ideas on what to do about my problems, I also reach out to those that have the same problems that I do but in a more private way so as to not trigger others. not many people understand and can handle the integrated issues that I have.

the sites that I do consider social networking sites are places like facebook, twitter, instagram, pintrest, tumbler, reddit all of which my wife and I have accounts both personal and work related. (though we use different user names for each one, the professional ones are under the work related agency name and the personal ones are under made up names where we invite or tell those we want to know how to find us)

example my wife and I have our own pinterest accounts but I do not use the name Amandalouse nor my given name for it, my facebooking accounts do not have Amandalouise nor my given name nor my pinterest name for user names.

in short each one of my social networking/ blogging sites have their own email and user names attached to them.

I use each one of my social networking accounts about 3 days a week and completely enjoy them.

for example facebooking many find problems with all the drama, fake news and garbage on them. me I treat all that stuff like we did when we had junk mail coming to our mailboxes outside attached to the house... I can read it knowing what I read may upset me or I can just ignore it, throw it in the trash (delete/block) or report it to facebook. (facebook now has options for reporting offensive or fake news articles.) when I go on facebook its to chat with my co workers, or family or friends, its to play the games, its to keep my co workers, family and friends updated on my life and family. on occasion like in real life sometimes bickering/ fighting happens and I can choose whether to get involved or stay out of it. I dont get a lot of problems with spammers or strangers and such activities because my settings are where only co workers, friends and family can contact me and see my posts. each one of my facebook accounts are set up in such a way that for example my friends and family dont have to see a bunch of my work related postings and my co workers dont have to see a bunch of my family oriented postings.
