Do you think maybe a lot of therapists know about it? I wonder if it's like sparknotes with professors-- you know they know about it, but they never (really) mention it. Are you concerned at all that, now that she knows about psycho-babble, she'll start checking the site? I know we should be able to talk to our therapists about anything, but I think I would feel a little weird if mine saw what I posted.

I was concerned about telling her. But I HAD to, otherwise, how could I explain why his death was so hard, and why the reaction to it was difficult for me to come to terms with.She asked me if it was only for depressed people. I said, it was for all kinds of people. Some people are in bad shape, and others are very high functioning. Sometimes we talk about medication issues, or we talk about things that stress us out in our everyday lives, and that it is also an important social outlet for me.
I'm not concerned that she's going to look me up. For one thing, she's not exactly the "demographic" that has a USB port built in to their temporal lobe. For the other thing, I think she would respect my privacy. She has asked me to bring in e-mails that affect me, or letters, or such. I think that pbabble posts would fall into the same category.
I'm going to come "clean" with her tomorrow, though. I'm going to tell her about the extent of my involvement (1 hour a day, or more) and how I have actually socialized in person with some babblers!
I think it's important that I not keep secrets like this. I tend to kind of insulate certain aspects of my existance from other aspects. I'm concerned that it's just an extension of this "collusion to keep secrets in my family" that she refers to occasionally.
wish me luck! :)-Ll
