Not this forum. She did question whether another forum was helpful one time because I was enraged by an interaction I'd had with somebody, and also ranted about the general atmosphere of that forum. She didn't straight up recommend staying off, just made the observation that I had to weigh whether what I got out of going there was worth the downsides.

I find what your psychiatrist said rather condescending and also stupid. It's not like you're the only person with a complex mental illness ffs. If my psychiatrist said that to me, it would make me feel like I must be too much of a freak to interact with people.

ETA: Yeah, there is always the risk of getting hurt when you share anything with anybody, whether online or in person. I just don't think that means it's not worth sharing with people. As you've noticed, it can help people feel less alone. I think the benefits outweigh the risks. And you get to choose what you disclose - you don't have to tell anything you don't want to.
