This. I've read posts in yours and Helen's rants before that have triggered me, but Jesus, I've not complained to you or any mods about it because it was my own decision. When I was in a bad place, I just didn't read them because I knew they would trigger me. I'm not blaming you or anyone else for this, because I choose what I do and don't read.

The R/V threads are not offering support to other people, or providing a guideline for how to recover. They are true, realistic feelings, and sometimes these are very harsh and I think you have to be prepared for that if you're going to read them.

Also, can I just ask, do these rules apply to journals, too?
