So we'll see what happens. i thought i wrote about this already but i can't find it.
To anyone: i would not want anyone forcing themselves to participate in any discussion, share something they're not comfortable sharing, or read something they're not comfortable reading. i accept trigger warnings are limited--we know something could be triggering but are drawn like moths to flames regardless sometimes. i, again, say to each her or his own. My own capabilities for sharing my experiences and receiving others' is limited and fluxuates all the time. One minute i KNOW and the next i don't.
We're all caring people. i just think we're taking on more of a load than we need to when it comes to protecting others. That doesn't mean i don't care. i'm the same way. i will (and do) feel awful when i know something i've said triggers someone else. At the same time i also know i'm not the cause of those triggers and reactions. The people who injured us are responsible.
i'll wait a bit to see what comes out of this. i feel funny about starting a social group even though i understand those are just words. i may just post in the abuse forum with an ample trigger warning. We'll see. i sure don't want to hurt anyone...i just thought this was a place to let it out.
*i'm not feeling comfortable about my communication skills at the moment so if i've come across poorly i apologize.

I think you articulated your thoughts very well, and I, for one, mirror them. Miri
