Hellion, I am sorry you were triggered somewhere on the net. Just remember that you can learn from triggers, while it isn't nice to be triggered, I know I have learned a lot about myself from the things that triggered me.

Here you are anonymous so don't let things bother you other than allowing yourself to give things some extra thought so you can pull it apart and even talk about it. Often people on line don't really know you and CAN say things that can be upsetting. Recognizing that this is an opportunity for you to learn instead of running or having a melt down is important to helping you actually recover.

Don't worry about sharing or venting or asking questions here where others struggle with PTSD as well. I know it took me a while to vent myself. I pretty much did what I always did, answer questions when and be supportive when I first came here. I was SO programed that I should NOT vent and complain that it was very hard for me to do. And it is pretty sad how far back that goes for me. Many of the members here have that same issue of how far back their PTSD goes. It is so nice to hear someone say they actually know what it feels like to struggle with PTSD.

(((Hugs)))
