Hey @ArraDreaming
The fear of other people seeing stuff you wrote in illness or shame or fear or anger is real. No one wants others to see the ugly side.
No one wants judgment or assumptions or any of the harsh reactions that people have when you are unwell.
I've thought about that too deleting everything and changing my profile but it's already out there. If I try to hide my mess if I disguise myself, I'm treating my illness as my identity I'm saying they are right.
If I change my name people will never get a complete image of me.
Stand tall and start again. No one except you can really deny you a fresh start. You are not your illness.
