People suffering from anorectal disorders face many challenges in everyday life but also experience shame due to social stigma. For many, an online community might be the only place where they can share their experience, seek advice, and get social support. Applying Shame resilience theory (SRT) (Brown, 2006), the typology of social support (Cutrona & Suhr, 1992), and the classification of humor styles (Martin et al., 2003), the researcher aimed to understand what role an online community, r/hemorrhoid, serves for the patients with anorectal disorders. An inductive computational content analysis via Leximancer revealed key themes of the online discussion: symptoms disclosures (symptom-related concepts, such as "blood" or "diarrhea"), routine practices (self-care, treatment, and daily routine), and community participation (concepts related to subjects, moderation policy, and society's issues). In addition, a theory-driven deductive approach was utilized that resulted in several themes related to shame resilience, social support, and humor: belongingness (authentic connections with others), autonomy (critical, independent thinking), security (feeling of safety and confidence), and efficacy (exchanging information and advice for recovery) (the BASE model). The combination of these two methods produced insights about health disclosures, online peer support, humor, and patient-provider communication. Participants made sense of their disease through sensitive disclosures to fight shame and gain psychological relief. This community became an essential platform where patients share their advice and expertise regarding diagnostics and treatment. Humor served two primary functions: to affiliate oneself with their community and to defend oneself. There were mixed findings regarding patients' trust and willingness to communicate with healthcare providers. There is a need to investigate further the relationships between anorectal patients and medical practitioners to foster deeper mutual understanding.
