I don't like to post my name or Facebook or whatever because I don't really want the people I work for or whatever reading about me doing ecstasy in the past or being a manic depressive, etc.. I haven't told anyone IRL about dissensus, it's nice to have a little place removed from everything else, imo. But if you're happy doing that, fine.
First, right now I am freelancing. So technically I don't work for any of those people anymore. And nobody at those places is spending time googling my name, and then poring over random message boards to figure out if it's really me who posted this or that-- that I know for sure. They are busy people with lives and better things to do. I am nowhere near special enough for them to care about that much.
I don't mind if people know I have a mood disorder that is genetic and that is not my fault and that is, at the moment, well-controlled by medication. Not a problem in my mind. American culture is very different about this, I've gathered, than British culture is, in a lot of ways. We don't see this as a shameful thing, anymore than it would be shameful if I had glaucoma. I'm proud of myself for how far I've come in it, honestly. I wouldn't hesitate to discuss this with my employers if I needed to at any time. We have anti-discrimination laws here to protect sick people from being unfairly terminated only on the basis of their condition.
As far as Dissensus being "removed from real life", my boyfriend used to read it, I don't know if he still does, but that's about it from my "real life"... even if it were removed from real life, I think that a lot of things I've learned about in life, I've learned in part because of the struggles I've had with certain things, and yeah, that's ok with me.
