| | 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 have noticed over the last week or so a few of the "regulars" have changed their avatars.
Just curious why.....? Thought it might be interesting to see what the thinking or reason behind it was.....eg. like a new image or a change in feelings about oneself etc? |

Hi Nicolette 
I changed my avatar a few days ago - I like change. I also got my hair cut and colored about a week ago so maybe I'm feeling a transformation lately. I have made some decisions about my health, taking more control over my body and mind (or at least, giving it my best). Anyway, I hope this is what is going on with me and not just me putting on "another face".
Good question!
Best,
Rachel |

I changed my avatar the first time because Goingonhope and I have the same avatar, and I want to be unique. So I changed it to Tigger, and then saw that Tigger belongs to GrandmaHerc. So I had to change it again to something I had never seen on the forum before. We identify with the visual of an avatar, more than the username, so I want mine to be unique. |

I just figured out how to have one  . Then I had to choose tweety because my dad and I had a non ending joke about sylvester and tweety. It makes me feel like he is here with me giving me support. If he was still alive I know he would be there for me through thick and thin regardless of what anyone said (the rest of the family). |

I've never been able to see avatars unless I'm NOT logged on.
If I'm logged in I cannot see them.
However I can see them if I'm logged in and look at my visitors page. |

I picked mine because aside from liking it I didn't see anyone else with it and I wanted to have a unique one. I don't think I will change it unless other people start using it, something new that I like better becomes available, or we start being allowed to make our own. I love making avatars. |

I can SEE!!! It's a miracle, thank you Nicolette. I gave up trying to figure it out and I am meant to be from the computer savvy generation 
Now I can see you all, and I had no idea what a stunningly good looking bunch you all were.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
