Hello.

Thank you so much for all your support. It really is great to see support for research in this area as there is still a vast area that needs to be understood. I am also very glad to see that there are other researchers out there who want to improve the understanding of PTSD.

Lisa, is your study based online? I am more than willing to help and participate in your study. Just let me know how and I'll do that for you. I will need to be placed in the control group as I don't personally suffer from PTSD. However, if it is fairly straightforward, I'm sure my sister would be more than willing to help (she has suffered from PTSD for 9 years).

Soulmate of a hero, you are more than welcome to take part in the study, you will be placed in the comparison group but this is equally as helpful! It may be interesting for you to look at how mine is compiled. A sound board for our research sounds good but you may need to be a little more specific as to what your research is focussed on. My focus is associations between PTSD, general well-being and personality. I am very interested in hearing your thoughts. My email is catherine.packer@ students.plymouth.ac.uk

Richard, thank you very much for taking part and especially your note regarding the http:// at the beginning of the address. ptsdforum.org do not allow live links so I have abided by this rule.

Sending my utmost gratitude to you all once again. If you have any further questions regarding the questionnaires please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
