I would think if you post and it is about what's going on with you, rather than what's going on in the media, then it shouldn't get shut down. But if you write a long thread about what's going on in the media, then it will get shut down.

So for example, I could say, I'm getting flashbacks because of what's happening in the press right now. Then I could go on to talk about what happened to me and how the memories keep coming back up and my emotional response is hard to control. And ask for coping techniques on how to handle my emotions...

In the above example, I mention why I'm being triggered, but the thread is about what's going on with me, not what's going on politically.

If people on the thread start to make it political, then the responses should be deleted, not the OP's thread.

I didn't see the threads you mentioned so I don't know how they devolved into political discussion.
