I don't want anyone I know to read my posts on online bipolar forums. I keep my anonymity. Since I've written about tdocs and my pdoc before, I wouldn't want them to know about it either.

I do share my story and other mental health related writing on my blog. Family and some friends have read my writing there, but even that access is limited. Given that these limited people read my blog, that obviously does restrict some of what I could write. Obviously I can't vent about a family member there. I also don't link my blog with social media. Actually, I closed down all of my social media accounts. I know doing so limits some access to good things, but overall I feel I'm better off without them.
