we seem to be accepting and extending the idea of the rest of society that talking about our feelings or our health (or anything else) is "bad" and thus needs to be hidden, in my opinion. I thought the general consensus on the boards is that we who suffer from mental health issues are tired of being treated like pariahs and that we were here to avoid stigma like that.
If I didn't trust my fellow babblers to not criticize me in general, I wouldn't need a second name to write anything; I wouldn't be here at all... As I tend to disassociate myself a bit in times of stress and depression, getting a second name to have my questions answered would feel like a step in the wrong direction, FOR ME.
That's my opinion.
