| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Yeah, Anthony, I agree that was a clear example of what no one needs on any kind of forum. | hehe, what I got a kick out of is how he has ptsd and isn't nuts, but we have ptsd and are nuts! LOL

| | Y&A. Exactly, what you said. You got on them and are getting yourself stable enough to address the issues and educating yourself, as we all are and I am. That is where I see them being good and cannot say they are an ultimate evil. I guess I wasn't making sense. Do you see yourself always on something like an anti-depressant though? Or working to one day not be? See what I saw was a way if given the chance and time you can get through this even if you won't ever be the same. You have to adjust to the new you (us). Meds can help stablize enough to start the work to heal, but wont do the healing. That I totally get. But I am just against people thinking meds simply will fix it. Make more sense? I am really trying here. I am agreeing with you and don't think meds are taboo or are being made taboo, just horrible for me and aware of what can happen if someone thinks they can pop pills, like my shrink wants and just get checked in on every couple months to make sure the pills are still working. I am not anti-med, I am anti-med if proper education and support are not provided with it.
Me I was "lucky" enough to be fed dope to the extreme and not get educated as to what was happening. So to think drugs will fix it is not so for me, they helped awhile and going on thinking I was fine ignorant I needed to do more. I have built up a tolerance so high I could probably brush off a horse tranquilizer, and go about my business still.
And cookie, that is what I was talking about before. We are not exactly sure where to step in as we do know it is the nature of the beast flaring up (wait till I post later...) as we all get like that and the intial posts are such a huge step. That is why it gets stuck on Anthony. We are still sorting through our issues and not as readily able to see the destructive behavior bad for the board except the ones that are just so far out there they kinda smack you up side the head... Last thing I want to see is someone who needs and wants help like me turned away. Like I said before we are all a bit jacked in the head to get here, so hard to tell which is going to be disruptive and bad for the board as a whole. So sorry Anthony you may be stuck between a bit of a rock and a hard place on this one... Hee hee, hard to pick out the "bad" nut in a whole bowl of 'em. And today I officially feel like a nut job. |

| | And to continue demonstrating what is coming, this user who registered I traced back to agolubi.org, which is a rape portal, and not in a good way, but more about exploiting women to rape and filming it. Does this help enlighten members further to what is going on behind the scenes? People who want to rape people and film it are trying to access here, porn spammers x 2 deleted today also, mobile phones, car parts, you name it, all trying to get in here and spam or disrupt the forum.
Yes, rules aren't going to stop these people trying, but it may make it prevelanent to those who want to register legitimately, why they are currently in moderation and so forth. I think a COC / Rules, whatever you want to call them, may also help those who are wondering why they cannot immediately post understand! |

Talk about a trigger. Thank you for being so viligant Anthony. I couldn't handle being preyed on again, as I'm sure quite a few of us on here will have the same reaction.

However, I am grateful to it...because w/o it, I'd never be here chatting with so many wonderful people! |

| | Hello, I've been away a while and have said much on another thread about my foibles and anger attacks. I know I get out of control in an ugly and destructive way, I admit that and try to take responsibility for it. But I've just found this:
I am bewildered and shocked and honestly do not understand where this comes from. Could you post a link to where 'I' said this? It is complete bull. I know if I've been branded a liar, telling you I'm not a liar will be branded a lie, but I have never been to the US in my life, have never wanted to apply to any army, and have lived in England my entire life with no links to any other country. Has somebody been posting under my name?

| | Ah shit... sorry purdy, I must have mistaken you with someone esle... I am so sorry, I will go and have a look now for who it was exactly. Please, my fuc*up in a big way, and I didn't physically go and look to clarify for myself. Please accept my apology. I will go and find who it was right now and amend.
