Obviously a lot of people here hide a lot of information. What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices? Considering my current situation and my extreme threat model it feels like the privacy walls around me are closing in. I'm very paranoid. I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet. Every knock on my door and phone call feels like the police. I don't talk with others about what I do and I'm always hiding my internet activity from others. Any thoughts would be helpful

Aren't therapists mandatory reporters?

It depends. In the US I think it varies by state. And it's only for big things like murder or child sexual abuse.

If you say "yeah I stole a piece of candy once" that's not worth reporting. If you say "decades ago I touched a minor inappropriately" they probably won't pursue it. If you say "yesterday I killed my neighbor and his family" yeah they're gonna fucking bolt from that room and call 911 as fast as they fucking can.
