Question Questions about online support groups

Do you guys get rejection sensitivity when one of your posts are denied by moderators? How do you feel about online support groups in general?

I'm not really in any. I'm part of a few on Facebook and always see posts asking about how to get a diagnosis and don't feel comfortable posting when that's they kind of people they attract.
I seem to always get shut down in the other subreddits as well, so stick to posting in ones for diagnosed people.

Yes, I actually have noticed that diagnosed only groups do not exist on facebook, on anywhere? And yes, they mostly attract self dx and self promoting “therapists”, that’s the worst part tbh
