We used to frequently refer to "poster's remorse" for that feeling of terror after disclosing something particularly personal or personally important.
I suffer from it frequently, along with its sibling "chatter's remorse".
It's never wrong to post about a topic on Babble. But I suppose it is possible to have topics that people don't quite know how to respond to. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with posting it. Just that the people currently reading don't quite understand. I've had that experience too, and now and then vow not to post about certain things. So I understand how it feels, but it's never wrong.
