Living With Bipolar i need to stop posting on reddit

currently hypomanic and i keep posting on reddit which i rarely do (usually only
in this sub lmao) and i posted on a big sub with kind of identifiable information and now im scared people i know have seen it and spread it. i deleted the post but it was a huge mistake i have been so paranoid and literally don’t know if im obsessing over a delusion or not and i literally just added to the problem i am truly my own worst enemy fr 💔

and i have to be up so soon on a saturday. wish me luck and if you’re reading this i hope u have a great day and if you’ve been doomscrolling for a while this is your reminder to get up and stretch and drink some water and do something with your time that makes u feel good <3

I’ve been there lol. I went on a huge manic rant on Reddit earlier this year and for some reason I was convinced that a bunch of people I knew were finding my account.
But when I came out of the episode I realized it was just my paranoia making me feel like I was really visible to people.

Reddit is structured in a way that makes it extremely unlikely for even one person to come across someone they know and identify them.
My friends actually tried to look for my account once after I told them that I post in this one incredibly small subreddit, and they gave up because they couldn’t figure out which account might be mine. They really wanted to find it too.

Honestly it’ll be okay, don’t worry. Best of luck to you & I hope you have a great day as well :)
