I guess that's the thing for me. . .if feels like manipulation. BIG TIME This is a public forum. . .people are going to post things here that delve deeply into mental illness and the like. IF those things are triggering, then wouldn't it seem like utilizing a little common sense and NOT reading them would be more beneficial than reading and then running? OR threatening to run?

I guess what I'm not really understanding here is IS psychcentral a place where we can say what we think and share our feelings about our illnesses (using trigger icons when necessary) or are we being relegated to a community where ALL deep conversations are going to need to take place in PM's?
