Faith Has Hope

[eml]

Hi Faith, I am also new here and need to learn what the protocol is for blogging on this site. I learned a lot this last year about the mind of a predator. As much as openness and sharing is needed, there is also a need to be safe. Maybe, I am too cautious, but I do like the fact that there is monitoring on this board.

Thanks guys! I guess maybe it was just my PTSD acting up again, making me too defensive. It's hard not to think that way, when you've had so many times when people did want to and did hurt you, even tried to kill you. It's too easy to think everyone is that way, when it's not always true. It's hard to trust people, or not think the worst (that they are going to try to 'hurt' you). Does anyone else have this problem too?

Thought I stop by here to say :hello: Hello again to you Faith.

I went looking for your blog address and my detailed vision's not very good at all, some days worse then others, but I did finally spot it in the last line of post #2. So even though I have to now run off to take care of school business right now, I'd be interested in doing as Nicolette suggested, ...cutting and pasting and visiting you blog.

Take Care.

And, would love to see you keep posting here, as it really is a great forum of trremendous info. and support.

Welcome Faith. :hello:

Yes, I think almost everyone diagnosed with PTSD has a hard time with trust. We have been so painfully betrayed so many times. You are not alone.

Also don't feel embarassed about your feelings and post about getting an infraction. I've gotten one too and reacted, silently, much the way you did. I thank Nicolette and Anthony for keeping this a safe place to be. I guess over time they have figured out what works and what doesn't.:think:

As you come to trust us on the forum more and more, you will begin to feel right at home here with people who 'get it.'

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted welcomes or encouragements for me. I appreciate that. Life is pretty stressful right now, whatwith my surgery coming up next Thurs., my grandmothers recent death, etc.

If I don't have time to return to this forum you can visit me on my blog or email me. I wish all of you the best of luck in healing from PTSD. Keep on keeping on!
