Yes, I do too, at times. I'm not entirely clear as to why, but I think it might be because we only get a little bit of information from other posters, and our minds fill in the gaps in ways which may or (more likely) may not be correct- and sometimes we fill in the blanks with our own unduly negative thoughts. A short while ago, this came up in my therapy, and my T. surprised me by saying that he and some of his colleagues had been discussing the possible negative effects for clients and patients who rely on internet sites, like this one, for more than they can give us. He is very flexible and non-dogmatic, but he did tell me that one of his colleagues had asked his patients not to use them at all, because he felt they caused more anxiety and self-doubt than reassurance and support- just too many unknowns.
