Actually, I haven't mentioned to anyone (except in passing to my husband) that I'm a member of a mental health support forum. Funny...I consider it kind-of private. Maybe it's one of those wonderful aspects of being older, but it wouldn't encourage/discourage me from being active here, regardless of what anyone else suggested. This feels like a big support group and an easy place to socialize (which I do very, very little of IRL).
I was on a "Nextdoor" site, it's supposed to be a social media forum to strengthen community ties, wherever in the US you live (you belong to the forum in your community). Turned out that the most active members were narrow-minded white people who thought they had the God-given privilege to decide how everyone should live his/her life. I hung with it for a month. Then I realized that every time I logged in I was tensing up and feeling mildly depressed. The hatred on that site was poison. I decided to delete my account. What a relief!
