About being triggered... None of us really know what anyone else's triggers are, they will be different for every person based on their own history etc, so it is really important for each person to be able to be responsible about taking care of themselves on these forums. There are some things that can be expected to be triggering for many people and it is always good to put those in a trigger box. But it is pretty much impossible to know what will or won't trigger another person so you will stumble across them here from time to time that's for sure. It's great that you can calm things down and do what you need to do for you when you come across a trigger. Good to know you know how to behave online too.  Welcome. |
Thank you for the advice and kind words. I didn't always behave online in the past but, I/We have come a long way from that. I now know why I behaved that way and what triggered it.
The end result was that I left that forum in a very damaged state, ended up hating a particular video game system that I'd loved collecting for for over 20 years and didn't start using forums again until this year. That was about five years ago. That's how bad it was for me and within the last two months I've started using forums again because facebook just isn't enough for me anymore. Sorry for the long-winded post. Just had to get that out.
So as not to derail the original topic I will shut up now. I hope that someone else comes in here who can help you to find the answers that you are looking for.
