Joined site back in Feb/March 2014.
Original posts were reviewed by mods briefly, then a few posts went through unmoderated, then some others were back to being moderated and never did show up in the thread. Nothing inappropriate in the thread. I indicated that I was concerned about privacy - trying not to reveal too much identifying information because of the very real possibility of some intrusive people seeing things they had no right to know. I asked mods at least once what happened to those posts and never got a response.
Have lurked here off and on, but don't think I have tried to post again until today. I have PTSD and severe anxiety, and simply reading about others here is often too traumatizing for me. But today I was troubled and triggering by a film I saw 2 days ago, and really needed to talk about it and get some support. Title of new thread was something like "saw film 'My Old Lady' - now triggering like mad". The film has a strong infidelity plot line (unknown to me beforehand), and other issues about parental abandonment, etc - which I also have a history of. The post was long and difficult to compose and I didn't save a copy. After I hit submit, I got a message back saying my post had been sent for moderation. It's been about 6 hours, and the post still hasn't shown up.
Not sure if there's a standard waiting time, and it didn't occur to me that I might be re-moderated after being absent for so long. But I have no copy of that post, I have no one IRL to talk to about it (except my disabled sister, and my husband, but he's not home).
PLEASE - I really need to talk about this with people who have lived this and understand it.
