Give it a go Anni. It honestly is much easier to get your head round everything by giving it a go, rather than only watching the video's and reading the instructions! You'll do great.

Thank you VERY much. Yes, you've both read me correctly- I've created quite a Medusa's Head of incompetance in my own head with this. Please know someone might need to follow me around with a Wiki pooper-scooper- I might not even know where the droppings will be.
Gratefully!
Anni

Ok, so getting distracted now by figuring out page set-up, relooking at How-To's, which you're correct- they make more sense when you look at the simpler stuff and disregard anything complicated first, kinda like putting all the edge pieces of a puzzle together before fitting those little bits in. At any rate, so I take it this is what creating the Test Thread is for in the first place? Making one and then going in and inventing something like is shown in the video then? I was initially even a tad anxious to do that, you see, with something 'finished'. thinking I'd have to leave it looking like something the cat dragged through the hedge backwards while working on it- limited time in the day. OR is it just fine for something under construction to be all in bits and pieces for a bit?
Also- I'm confused through too much information at the moment and now can't find the 'How To' on linking the Wiki thread to the thread we're meant to have showing one is under constuction.
do I have this correctly? If I DO do something incorrectly, someone in the group can ( and hopefully will ) just come along with their nice editor's skills and straighten the mess up? This isn't to say I won't attempt the process- just that I may not even know and it feels like a vast amount of anxiety has vanished just thinking this might the case. :)

Just fine... hence why that category exists. Its not linked in with the menu's or such, and the page list is not viewable to members or guests... only what the wiki menu shows. Google may still pick things up, but who cares.
If you are talking about the "Self Diagnosis" page, then you are talking about the existing thread: [DLMURL]http://www.ptsdforum.org/c/threads/uc-self-diagnosis.15107/[/DLMURL] which once you create the wiki page, you edit the opening post with the link to the page. You would only change that threads title with prefixes as you go.
Yep, I will look at it and tell you anything issues along the way, to quickly correct the bits of the process you miss.
Ok, well I'm a little surprised at how stupidly alarmed I am by actually POSTING something- so sorry people! Yes, realize it's the neurons, etc- not making excuses. NO am not backing out, to be sure- nothing like putting the head down and getting it done anyway. Just very impatient with myself- but seriously- sorry so much dumb stuff.No idea on the planet where this is coming from.
May I post the introductory paragraph to see if it's way off what is expected? Yes, realize 'relax'- no doubt will as soon as the whole exposure thing works, which it will.

Anni, please do take that self advice you just gave yourself, "relax". Stop doubting yourself please... post anything you want, you don't have to ask.
This is the first welcome I bumped into one morning while in tears, once more frantically Google-searching relief from the decades-old aloneness of this unmanageable life.
" 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 " ( 1 )
. I logged in, was informed, comforted, befriended,stressed daily, triggered as hell, stayed and mostly now realize the complexity of my disorder, PTSD. Here in the forum were facts- solid, often unpalatable facts which still had to be swallowed whole, as it were, before I could properly continue and maintain healing. I’d already been diagnosed, had some years of very good therapy but still had fallen victim to the lure of the internet self-help, self-diagnose gurus, the icky-sweet ‘support’ posters, the dime-a-dozen,and self-important, self-appointed experts who write articles and post them together with that wise ‘professional’ photo of ‘self-at-desk-pen-in-hand, the fill-in-the-blanks and get your diagnosis for ten bucks HERE sites. Pain causes desperation, desperation can cause reliance on any number of things to relieve that pain.Reliance on the merely ‘supportive’ groups is merely avoiding one’s pain, or a proper diagnosis, if there is indeed one to be pursued. Both the self-help gurus and those self-appointed experts, please bear in mind, tend to have some financial interest in one becoming somehow intrigued by their belief systems or ‘methods’. In these days of the internet, entering one’s symptoms, clicking ‘search’ and coming up with a ‘diagnosis’ by way of ‘what’s wrong with me’ is a frankly silly endeavor for a number of reasons. Some of these can only be explained through understanding the complexities of PTSD as the incurable, neurological dysfunction it is. Attempting to do this properly as a sufferer and proverbial lay person can admittedly stop one cold, unless you have a background in neurosciences or happen to be well-researched on the subject-otherwise the explanations can be as confusing as the disease itself. Hopefully the pitfalls seen and described from the vantage point of a plain, pretty much working day PTSD sufferer, backed certainly by the plethora of solid, hence comforting facts associated with the whole ‘Self Diagnosis For Dummies’ topic can dissuade at least one person out there from wasting time, money and much needed healing energy towards this pursuit.

Probably should post this onto the thread itself Anni, that corresponds the wiki page... as this forum is general aspects, where each wiki page has a thread page so everything specific to that wiki page can be discussed / nutted out, just like you are, in length and detail, and all in a relevant area for that page.
OH Good God and herds of rats. This is zero excuse( reasons and excuses not quite being the same thing)- just rather deliberately working through fog at the moment. It's hard to believe, I know but I thought I HAD, isn't that amazing??????? Boy is it wierd to come back here and see nope, I posted on an entire different thread. Will correct and triple check next time, to be sure Much apologies. May be tomorrow- woke up with migraine and resorted to Imitrex. I don't know how anyone else reacts to that- it might help squish the actual headache but proper logical progression? Nope. Again-wow! This is amazing.

Stop panicking please Anni... you aren't breaking anything or doing anything terribly wrong, so please stop self doubt, as its a negative to healing PTSD.
