I don't see it as being one forum or the other. I actually think that they both work hand in hand very well.
PTSD forum is brilliant for a mixed response, from all sorts of people, from all sorts of trauma.
But sexual abuse, sexual assault, rape etc is a difficult subject for a lot of us to discuss, and I personally think its easier to discuss with people who have been through similar.
Being a moderator there, and admin here has it's pro's and cons, and sometimes I struggle to know where to post, when it comes to my own personal issues.:eek:
Also we are still quite a small forum. We are only 6-7 months old, and it takes a lot of time to build up member's so sometimes things are a bit slow here, which can be difficult, if you are struggling and posting and looking for immediate responses. There just aren't enough active members just yet to get immediate responses to posts. But we are growing all the time, and as we grow, things will change and develop.
I'm sure some people probably prefer to use one forum or another rather than both, but you are all more than welcome here, or PTSDForum, or both as the mood takes you!!
Regards, and hugs :hug::hug: to anyone in need of a hug today :D
