My T suggested I find a forum for some extra support, and I'm really glad I found this one. I never would have thought to join such a place, but I've found it to be a really helpful outlet and a way to process things.

I understand the self-fulfilling prophecy idea, as well as the potential to be triggered. I think acknowledging that these risks exist is important so we can have a bit more control and monitor ourselves. But I don't think those are reasons to completely leave the forums.

I am also grateful that the members here are truly supportive and respectful. You don't find that with all forums.
