Thanks.

I feel like this is a safe place for people with schizophrenia,

So I wouldn’t tell her out of respect for the other members.

I would never tell my mental health professionals about this place.
I get too paranoid.

It’s up to you @asgoodasitgets but personally I think you are making a mistake.

i’m listening to you guys and i respect members wishes but tbh she would only be reading some of what i write to get an idea of how much support i provide, i thought it would be nice to help me with getting a job, :slight_smile:

What kind of job are you talking about?

Being part of a support forum doesn’t qualify you for much of anything,

With the exception of some volunteer work with maybe a mental health hotline or something.

I told my pdoc i visit sz forum. And i told my support person and a therapist. But i didnt go into detail.

I think there is no point hiding something from my mental health support net. I mean docs etc. Hiding and lying only complicates things. But my touchy subjects i tell when im ready or maybe i just dont share them.

I wouldn’t, personally. It wouldn’t really do that much for them to know.

The only kind of work like that is volunteer work you could sign up for without the help or referral of a key worker.

I’m not trying to be discouraging,

I just don’t think we should have a bunch of mental health workers stalking the forum.

Maybe if you want to show this place to someone, you shouldn’t antagonize other members for feeling differently from you.

Personally I would prefer it if you didn’t. Part of the reason I feel safe posting on this forum is because I am speaking to people I think of as my peers, people who I feel can identify with the issues I struggle with. Thinking mental health workers or ‘normies’ were reading my posts would make me feel paranoid. You could easily discuss stuff you post and the reasons why without her actually reading this forum. It’s not up to me of course, just my two cents.
