Poll Does Anyone Else Have Anger Issues Regarding This Forum?

[Kathy]

Right-o then. I have voted! :smile:

Ditto. ;-)

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.

i have a anger problem but nothing on this site has made me angry yet so i voted no. i am a new member hear maybe a month or so. i try to take the thing i learned in aa take what you need and let the other go. when i do that it helps me with anger. the only thing is i am not perfect when i am not sleeping because of my ptsd thats when i have a more short of a fuse.

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.

people here are cool but I've typed some angry stuff to some of the jerks on the Jeep board. there are a lot of jerks on those.

I'm new here. I'm not angry but something does, actually, bother me. I have PTSD. I have trouble navigating this site at times and am easily frustrated by my own feelings of inadequacy. Nevertheless, when I received a 'demerit' for not putting a proper title on something I wrote, still under moderation, my first reaction was OMG!!! I freaking made a mistake!! They won't let me in!! OMG!!! My face felt hot and flushed and I felt panicky and stressed out... YO!! chicken little!! The sky ain't fallin' today... ; )
I guess I didn't mean to post a new thread or mess up the title punctuation... and the mode my mind and emotions have been in lately didn't lead me to feeling very confident in the first place....so it really caught me off guard. Oh.. yeah.. my guard stays up most times. And after that, it will stay that way for a while....

No, I haven't really gotten angry about anything on here. I think it is run quite responsibly and I so appreciate that.

I do get annoyed when people don't captilize things or they are all in one paragraph and rambling because I find it hard to read. But I do realize that they are releasing pent up stuff rapidly, so I understand.

yes. today. I get upset and angry when I think I finally get something right only to find another infraction for it.
Am I a carer? Or a sufferer? Can't I be both?

If my son may also have ptsd? Isn't it possible for a parent who has it, to have a child who does, too? At the hands of the person who gave it to both?

More confusion, frustration, upset... and I try not to be angry. It solves nothing.
