Could This Cause Ptsd?

Mallaky,

Ok! I will walk you through it while asking you some relevant questions:

I do not understand, I seriously do not, the intense reaction of every post in this thread so far

In what way are the reactions intense?

This is why I tried to lighten it up, but funny is a difficult thing, and I seem to have come across as respectless, which is unfortunate and shows a lack of language skill on my part.

How did you lighten it up? By your 'Jesus Christ',' stop overreacting', 'please relax now' phrases? There is nothing funny about phrases like that (espacially not to a PTSD sufferer) they are all minimizing, condenscending wordings.


I just asked and I quote myself "Should he look into this or am I seeing things?"

Yes, but your headline reads: Could this cause PTSD? And:
Can a thing like this be traumatizing in early childhood?

nobody is responding to my initial opener

Therefore, we were all responding to your initial opener!

I did not ask for diagnosis, I asked for insight by people with experience if this kind of behavior and experience would warrant a look into the PTSD complex.

This is why we advised you to encourage him to see a therapist because none of us is fit to make this kind of suggestion.
This is not a nuanced or difficult thing to understand.

You are right! But thereby you are trying to make us seem as not nuanced and incomprensible people? Why the need for that?

The harshness of response and misinterpretation of a very simple question leads to the assumption that, yes, this forum is burned by people looking for diagnosis, which is understandable. This is something that each and every public forum for psychic illness and/or problems is known for.

Three things: 1)Where do you find the harshness in the responses? 2) I do not know, or will be held accountable, for what every other forum do or do not do! 3) again, you insert a subtle, but very real, insult:' misinterpretation of a very simple question'

even though my openingpost was misunderstood, so this endeavor worked out after all, haha.

Is it not the point of the forum? The only one who made us out as opponents is you.

I am sure I was rude again but I just seem to be a rude person in written language, sorry.

"apology" not accepted!

Your minimizing condenscending behavior is way to recognizable, and does not fly well with me.
 
Okay, have it your way. I will not respond any further to you on this matter as clearly we do not understand one another and it would be time wasted for both of us.
 
I am not 'having it my way' I am simply responding to what I find to be inappropriate behavior, and that is never a waste of my time. Fortunatly, I am not dependent on a reply from you in order to do so!
 
I do not understand, I seriously do not, the intense reaction of every post in this thread so far.

Didn't read very many posts before skipping. I got angry only a few posts in.

By law we are, and anybody not professionally trained and certified, prohibited from giving out mental health advice. Plain and simple.
 
I don't think it would be a stupid thing to suggest your friend get a professional diagnosis.

I think it would be a wise thing for him to get a diagnosis from a qualified professional such as a psychiatrist who is well able to diagnose PTSD and other conditions as well. That way your friend would be exploring all the possibilities and could get the most appropriate support and treatment.

If you take that approach in what you suggest to him, I don't think this could be troubling him without reason. You've said he wants help, so this would be appropriate.

You may not agree with other people who have posted from the point of view of not wanting to give an opinion on the possibility, because to them that would be like trying to make a diagnosis. Even if you don't agree with that, and even if you don't understand why other people might think it, I think you have to accept that your view about this might be different from other people's. Which doesn't mean they're harsh, misinterpreting, burned or overreacting. It means they have a different view.
 
Okay, have it your way. I will not respond any further to you on this matter

Everyone is allowed their own opinion. That is how adults work; calm discussions of view points, not by throwing a tantrum when you don't hear what you want to hear. Keep that in mind Mallaky and please be respectful.

This is a mental health forum so people will be responding more formally and of course the discussions will also be deeper then they would on Facebook for example.
 
Calm discussion of viewpoints is impossible, when people do not react to what you write, but what they interpret your agenda to be. When the more formally way of discussing means nothing else then to thinly and lazily veil rudeness, misconceptions and superficiality it is a dance that can be danced without me. If anybody wants their daily fix of righteousness you can merrily continue to use this thread for that. I on the other hand will not waste anymore time and nerves on responding to any post on this matter anymore, so feel free to shoot.

I showed my friend this thread as it was an easy way to communicate and he is going to talk about this with his doctor, so the opening post is resolved. Have a nice day.
