Some of us are struggling with triggers related to the sexual abuse allegations that have been in the media lately. I know of two threads on the topic that both got closed.

I need to be able to post about what's going on with me. Others have said the same. I need to be able to get support from my friends here. I've discussed my reactions via PM with some members, but would like to be able to post to the forums.
So, is there a way that those of us who need to discuss this can do so?

Im assuming its like any other topic that may trigger someones child abuse history into things like anxiety depression flashbacks, anger guilt, shame (you know that PTSD stuff many of us survivors have) the posts would go in either survivors of abuse, PTSD or what ever the direct problem is...
example if hearing about the sexual abuse allegations on the news is triggering me to have anxiety / panic attacks I would post in the anxiety board

or if watching all the allegations happening in the news was triggering me to having flashbacks, nightmares I would post in the PTSD forum here..

see what I mean leaving out the political side of things and look at what the problem you are having is then like you have normally posted about these problems in the past post in the forums that fit the problem you are having...
another suggestion is read your past posts to see where in the past you have posted about what ever problem is happening, example if all the media is causing you to have flashbacks look in your past posts to see where you have posted about flashbacks before....
