Finding a Window

[Divergent]

It's been 9 years since I signed up here, I made 1 post.

but when other avenues for support close their doors, you find a window right?

I'm here because I was on a country specific forums platform who had a data breach and I blew the whistle. They banned me as a result and they haven't even told the forums staff what is going on.

I need someone to hear me

I'm sorry you got banned from that forum. It sounds like you found it a good place to be. It's a shame that in trying to protect its integrity you ended up being denied access.

Welcome Divergent

Hi Divergent,

I'm sorry you were cut off from a community that supported you. Welcome back 

Sending you support,
dolly

It's hard to be without them, it was a daily thing for over a year, with friendships and support, now having so many agencies and calling the forums out, it's just, it's a lot to handle when they've banned me for doing the right thing

Welcome (back), Divergent 
I'm really glad you found your way here. 💛

That sounds like a lot to carry, especially losing a place that had become part of your daily life and support. Being suddenly cut off like that can feel really disorienting.

You're heard here. Take your time settling in - you don't have to hold it all alone.

I was being spiritually abused, harassed and gaslit there. The week I brought it all to their attention, the leak happens and after 3 months, it was easier to isolate me than address the problem. My harasser is still on there, I'm still gathering evidence to bring my harasser down.
I was never the problem, I was the solution they ignored.
But one friend I have on there, the harasser is grooming her now, like she groomed me... I'm tracking too as evidence.

That sounds like a really stressful situation to be dealing with, especially on top of everything else. 💛

If you feel up to it, you're also very welcome to share a bit more about what brought you here in terms of CPTSD, like what you've been or are dealing with personally. This space can be really supportive around that. I've found that sharing my lived experiences as a survivor of complex trauma here, and being seen, can be very regulating.

(if that's ok)

I know the benefits of forums but please take into account how much I've been hurt recently and in the past within a forum space.
This all ties in together, I just need the time to be open where the fear is at a manageable level (which right now my throat is saying it isn't)

[TheBigBlue]

That makes a lot of sense — of course, take all the time you need.
When I first came here, I mostly just read other posts.
