Promoting Growth Through Healing?

[AdamAnt]

I'll answer the questions for 5 bucks...my final offer

 

[catjudo]

I am not a researcher here to use people on a whim.

My topic was called "An Introduction, in need of support." I think the first one was titled An introduction, some questions, and a poem.

Your original, deleted post was actually titled, "An Introduction, Interview request, and the essance of PTSD". You stated that you were in the process of writing a book and, among other things, included a long list of questions for forum members. You violated several forum rules all in one post.

• Title thread written incorrectly.
• You were obviously soliciting responses to assist you with the book you purported to be writing.
• You also included a live link and your email address.

Please stop trying to stir up trouble. Please feel free to use the forum free of charge for personal support and growth. Any attempts that even appear to be gathering information for your book or other similar projects will be subject to the applicable rules that you agreed to when you registered on this forum (namely a small, nominal charge). While you are welcome to stay here, if you don't like the rules you are also free to move on. As far as speaking badly about the forum to others you know, that is purely your choice. Making threats will not change the rules of the forum.

Cherryblossom,
You sound confused. Where did I now say I am researching? And you can ask Anthony where my first deleted post went to.


"Combatptsd1967, you have contradicted yourself by saying you want to

compare personal experiences with ptsd


and


to help change the inaccurate diagnostic code as it stands now, to prevent a life time of suffering in those who already suffer from ptsd


I'd like to know where you stand, are you just trying to compare experiences or are you trying to use our answers to launch a campaign to change the diagnostic criteria? It's reasonable to conclude it's necessary to compare experiences in order to change diagnostic critera. Which by the way, I do not profit from either. Many people are misdiagnosed, mistreated, and misunderstood when suffering from ptsd. I for one don't like being told by some psych that a symptom of our disease is the inability to have loving feelings. Or, a restricted range of emotions. people I know with ptsd love passionately, and react with passionate emotion under stress. It's illogical for mental health proffessionals to say a symptom of ptsd is avoiding anything that reminds them of the trauma.
If that is true, why do they write so many articles on trauma survivors repeating the trauma. If people with ptsd avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma, why does my vietnam vet husband watch war movies and documentaries daily? Why do I stay with him even though my ptsd is due to his abuse, which he is still abusive? Why does my daughter who has ptsd from abuse keep getting into abusive relationships if people with ptsd avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma.
PTSD is a physical neurological injury. And they know it! We're being lied to, and used as guinea pigs by the mental health field. Not by me silly. As you said, people are smart enough to know if they want to answer questions, or not. When the site closes or deletes a thread, that is not possible. And when they keep telling me to pay for it, as per your guide lines, when I am not a student or researcher, only someone intersted in helping the ptsd survivors who are being harmed, or going through a life time without an accurate diagnosis because mental health proffessionals don't even know our disease. Fact, they know that the brain damage can be prevented if the stress hormones can be lowered in the first six months after the life threatening STRESS, which is an automatic reaction, not a psychological one, permanent brain injury can be prevented. That can't happen if they don't know the accurate symptoms of our dis-ease.
Hello,

My name is Chris. My husband is a Vietnam veteran with ptsd. Our two adult children and I also suffer from ptsd. (due to his explosive, abusive, fits of rage that will injure anyones normal response to stress.) I'd like to learn more about ptsd, and how other people have been affected by it. The symptoms currently listed for ptsd don't seem very accurate to me. If you don't mind elightening me, I have a few questions I'd like to find answers for. Thanks for your help. I look forward to chatting with you soon.

oh ps, I misspoke, I don't stay with him now. After he let me support him for 28 years, gave me and the kids severe stress injuries, he left us then we lost our home, another stressor. he is still abusive though. But the government pays him big bucks while I live in a box and work my chronically ill body to the bone just to scrape by.

Just give it a rest will you please. Just visit the site, ask what you want, read, learn but please stop with the arguing.......All you are doing is just upsetting yourself and digging yourself a hole.

 

[combatptsd1967]

I'm not making accusations against people i don't know. My last post was just deleted too. I guess because it was logical. It's impssible to justify wrong. I'll say again you are confused cherry blossom. I did not say I was a researcher. It's reasonable to conclude that it's necessary to compare experiences in order to change an inaccurate diagnostic code. which I also don't profit from.
I'm glad you think it's funny to take peoples thoughts and feelings and delete them on a whim. The members are smart enough to know if they want to respond or not. The censorship here makes that impossible. I am well known in the ptsd field. Other people have already responded and thanked me for speaking up against your violation of the freedom of speech. That's a global right of any human being. Just not here apparently. It's sickening that you deleted the suffering I shared. What goes around, comes around. People are smarter than you think. Your actions speak for themselves. Okay, delete me again. bye

You were obviously soliciting responses to assist you with the book you purported to be writing.
You also included a live link and your email address.

So, you know what the book I am writing is about do you? I didn't know you were a fortune teller/mind reader. It happens to be a book of poety, which I am already well known for, even in australia. My poem Thank you soldier has often been read at Anzac Day.
I didn't ask for this trouble, you know what they say about people who assume. I know my memory stinks, but i am certain I deleted my e mail address from my original post. Please forgive me for the improper title. Are you serious? Justifying wrong doesn't make it right. Perhaps in the future, the people who run the group can ask questions before jumping to arbatrary conclusions not based on the facts, before they automatically delete peoples thoughts and feelings.

Cherryblossom,

It's reasonable to conclude it's necessary to compare experiences in order to change diagnostic critera.

This sounds like resarch to me. (Definition of research taken from dictionary.reference.com ) Research - "inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts"

I am now leaving this discussion well alone, I have made all the points I wish to.

As I have said before, you are welcome to this forum, just as any other new member. I wish you well in your healing journey.

Hi,

There is zero debate on this issue, as per staff have already outlined. Your initial thread, titled: An Indroction, Interview request, and the essance of PTSD, which was a duplicate of your second, which also got deleted, then your third duplicate closed. All you did was change subject headings, the content was identical. I have sent you the information on how to post requests for the building of information, soliciting interview questions, etc.

Either listen to staff or you will be banned, simple as that.
