And also, I’d feel safer with a lot of diverse income streams, and Substack has made me an extremely generous offer.
I think I’d feel safer as part of a big group that specifically promises to defend their bloggers when needed. While part of me wants to jump right back into blogging here and pretend nothing ever happened, the Substack option has grown on me. I’m also talking to Substack about moving to their blogging platform. I’m trying to do all of this maximally slowly and carefully and in a way that won’t cause undue burden to any of my patients, and it’s taking a long time to figure out. At some point, I may start my own private practice, where I’m my own boss and where I can focus on medication management – and not the kinds of psychotherapy that I’m most worried are ethically incompatible with being a public figure. I had a talk with my employer and we came to a mutual agreement that I would gradually transition away from working there. So I am gradually reworking my life to be compatible with the sort of publicity that circumstances seem to be forcing on me. I probably inadvertently Streisand-Effect-ed myself with all this I still think it was the right thing to do.Īt this point I think maintaining anonymity is a losing battle. And now that I’ve publicly admitted privacy is important to me – something I tried to avoid coming on too strong about before, for exactly this reason – some people have taken it upon themselves to post my real name all over Twitter in order to harass me. Overall I’m confused.īut they definitely haven’t given me any explicit reassurance that they won’t reveal my private information.
Since nothing has been published, I’d assume they dropped the article, except that they approached an acquaintance for another interview last month. I haven’t heard anything from the New York Times one way or the other.

It’s been two and a half months since I deleted the blog, so I owe all of you an update on recent events.
