Social Media Dedicated To Trauma?

[Lambchop]

For the past couple months I've had a blog that I've dedicated to posting about my trauma and reposting photos and poems about trauma that I relate too. I was wondering if anyone else does this as well? Or if you think this is unhealthy to indulge with

I have a tumblr for this specific purpose too, it is probably not the best thing but it's how I vent.

Hum I think this is the best place to post about your trauma! There are so many categories, I'm sure you can find something that applies.... There is something called Trauma Diaries, each member can open one and write/ "journal" their experiences.... It is like a blog but here on the myptsd site.

If your purpose is to educate the public, though, a separate blog would be a good idea. I don't know how to go about that, though. Meanwhile, I hope writing has been helping you... I think, whether it is helpful or not is a very individual thing. I'm kinda re-learning how to write, and I go in fits and starts. :) I'm glad to see a new face here!

Venting can be good... Why do you say it's not the best thing? Does it upset you?

I have lots of old notebooks that are now in the possession of my therapist (who I trust deeply) , so that I can't look back through them and obsess over some of the most painful things I've written down. If I DO want to read them, they are right at his livingroom/office and I can ask him and that way it is not an impulsive decision.
