Precautions
- Protect privacy: Do not disclose personally identifiable information
- Verify information: Not all shared information is accurate; prioritize professional sources
- Identify triggers: If certain discussions make you uncomfortable, you can leave
- No substitute for professional help: Community support is complementary, not a replacement
Setting Boundaries
- If the community makes you feel worse, step away temporarily
- Do not over-engage; set limits for yourself
- Remember: reading about others' severe experiences may trigger your symptoms
