If I can make Kumoricon next year, I was thinking of submitting a panel where people who have had difficult anime-related experiences can come to talk about them and get advice for it.
I know it's not uncommon for fans to have difficult anime-based experiences, whether it's something painful they saw in an actual anime, if they've been treated like dirt for liking it by people who aren't fans or if it's bad experiences with other otaku.
I'm not an actual counselor or therapist myself, but I do have a lot of advice that I can share with others who have had hard times and I often counsel people at different forums when they're having troubles.
That and I've had my share of anime-themed hardships myself and would be willing to share them as well.
