I have been in the reversed role, where I have been triggered because someone said for example "I loved seeing the blood in that cut, it felt so good", or if they say "I've had xx stitches, they said they've never seen self harm that bad before" - yeah that triggers me, that makes the urges stronger, that makes me want to, as someone said in here, compete, but I took responsibility for it myself and I wouldn't prevent someone from expressing how they felt because of being triggered which in the end was my own doing.
The only times I will report is if someone is breaking the rules, and expressing how you feel, about whatever bothers you/affects you/what you're going through in the R&V forum, which is what it was designed for, is not breaking the rules.
Nobody HAS to read those threads, they are your own personal threads where you can express yourself, I don't think you should have to be restricted in how you express yourself, why should you? It's your own space.
In the R&V forum, you don't have to read those threads, people choose to read them knowing they could get triggered or become tempted to engage in the same behaviour(s) that is spoken about, just like in the other forums.
I don't see why you should change how you express yourself in your own thread for other people.
I think Rubik's posts, both of them, explain what I wanted to get across very well, so I agree 100%. I also agree with Lauren, Anna & aeternal.
