No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

One reason I dont want to do therapy is simple paranoia. Anything you tell your therapist can be subpoenad by a court. That alone is enough to keep me from trusting a therapist with anything of substance.
That said, anything in my life that might motivate me to do something that would land me in court is probably something I should see a therapist about.
Truth is, I'm unlikely to do anything that would land me in court, so I should probably see a therapist about this paranoia.
Maybe you're really a bit paranoid. I don't think those doctors will give away your secrets easily. They'll fight and have a lawyer on their own and try to make it impossible. Their job demands trust from their patients.
And the court isn't supposed to ignore your rights either, unless it somehow fits the crime. So you should be completely fine if it's some lesser crime dealing with drugs, stealing or something like that.
And isn't this hearsay anyways?
This may change if somebody's life is on the line. But then you're probably really a criminal and deserve to be prosecuted.
Still, you could ask your therapist not to write anything down. There is nothing to be requested if it doesn't exist in the first place.
(Maybe there are a few exceptions nowadays since this culture war in the US took off.)
In my jurisdiction therapists are mandatory reporters, and suicide is a crime. So telling a therapist you attempted suicide could literally land you in prison.
May I ask which country?
Direct messaged it to you.
