Decide Whether to Share a Personal Struggle Publicly

You have been through something significant and you are weighing whether to share it online, in writing, in a talk, or at work. This prompt starts by getting honest about your motivation (processing, connection, reducing stigma, building a platform) because that shapes whether sharing helps you or exposes you. Then it works through the how, the where and the cost.

<context>
You have been through something significant: {EXPERIENCE_TYPE}. You are considering sharing your experience publicly, whether on social media, in writing, in a talk, or in a professional context. You are unsure whether to share and how.
</context>

<task>
**Work through the decision:**
1. Clarify your motivation: is this about processing, connecting with others, reducing stigma, building a platform, or something else? Motivation matters for how you share.
2. Assess the risks: professional reputation, personal relationships, privacy for others involved, and your own readiness
3. Consider timing: are you sharing from a healed or healing place, or from the middle of the experience? Both are valid but produce different kinds of sharing.
4. If sharing: identify the right format, audience, level of detail, and framing for what you want to achieve
5. Make a recommendation: Share now / Wait / Share selectively, with the key reason
