| | 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. | |

I voted yes. I do quite often get very angry and find some peoples posts hard to stomach. I also find it a frustrating medium sometimes. If I disagree with something in real day to day life I would talk in through with the person there and then. Its virtually impossible to do this on here. |

I voted that I do get angry... however it is more frustration for me. I rarely get angry at other's posts, if I do it is more irritation. But I do find that I get angry at MYSELF a lot in relation to this forum. And sometimes I feel frustrated at not being able to articulate myself as well as I want to, because then obviously I feel that it's harder for anyone to relate to me if I can't even bloody word it right. |

I voted "yes"...Honestly, I get angry all the time...ok...so I have a short fuse...Although... normally I don't get angry about people's personal opinions (unless I find them uninformed/percieve the person as a bigot)...And then there are posts like som ein the PTSD News section that get me all wound up and trigger things...or even certain emoticons as Evie mentioned (probably the same ones too)...getting better at ignoring the emoticons though... |

Reading on the advice and locked threads for carers pissed me off quite alot. They are written in a way that makes a PTSD sufferer seem like a control freak and they sound demeaning. I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but I wanted to send a boyfriend here and now I wont. It seems advice is given to carers to control trip on PSTD sufferers when we need understanding, not a power trip. |

Angry? Not so much angry as sometimes just kind of "not going to touch that for anything" and I leave for awhile |

Not on this board but on some of the jeep boards i frequent people can be real jerks. i usually don't post until i am calmed down though. I love all of the emoticons some times it is hard to express the tone and inflection of what you are trying to say. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
