I don’t remember about profile posts. Really bad at that.
I try and read new posts and contribute to others if there is anything I can. If I have an experience that might help I share it. Comparing and contrasting ( though doesn’t suit all) helps me and so sharing stuff on a forum can be taken or left I hope.
I am using it to desensitise in a couple of different ways. Though right now I am taking a break from reading diaries just reading ‘stuff’ one inevitably comes up against sensitive or triggering points. I think that’s very healthy. The other is that in trauma response I have become very over sensitive and easily overwhelmed. Things like sharing book titles might seem like nothing to many but it feels vulnerable to me, noting if I liked or disliked something feels very exposed; bizarrely as much or more so as talking about the ‘stuff’ because it’s having my personality be seen, and potentially feeling vulnerable to attack; whether it’s predatory or hatred . :/.
There is another site I used to go to that is not great for my health. Somerandomguy inspired me to use the term ‘self harm’ for that site. If I feel the urge to self sabotage in that way and can’t divert another way I read here.
