When I first came here I made a point to stay away from the ABUSE forum because I found it to be very triggering.

When time when on, feeling more confident and stronger mentally, I ventured in to reply to posts and to make some posts of my own as I needed support and I know there are others in need of support as well.

I was triggered soon after that and stopped going in there until I felt mentally strong enough again to do so.

Well, time past again, felt ok enough to go back in there and was reading a post that felt as though I was kicked in the gut. Again, feeling triggered, I am right back where I started from.

I know that a person stays away from a particular forum for the very same reasons that I have stated above but I get a little discouraged when I keep taking these steps backwards.

I want to support, but how can I when I go in there and get upset. Is there some type of line I need to draw with myself. Or am I just a complete idiot. (dont answer that!!!)
