no your post is showing to anyone who is reading psych central whether they are logged in or not, every one around the world if they come to psych central can read your posts.

I was just pointing out that your location shows on your posts as you being in america. thats why people are giving you suggestions like the APA (which stands for the American Psychiatric Association) if your profile had said new zealand someone might have seen the country you are in and given you the right information or help that you are looking for.

it was only a suggestion that could help you find the help you are looking for here. its your choice if you want people to think you are in america and then give you the wrong help and then tell them later sorry that wont work, because you really are not in america.

but my opinion is that it kind of defeats the purpose of asking for help but then end up getting the wrong help because people believe you are in america when you are not. my suggestion was just a way that might help you to get answers you are looking for, thats all, kind of like I list america and sometimes NYC in my profile so that if I have a problem I want to ask about here, people in america can give me the right info and suggestions that I may need and can use.

its a big world out there and different places do things differently. it always helps to have a general location for the readers and reply'ers to be able to help me.
