Recently the forum seems to have a load of 'woe is me' kind of stories in it. I know this is where people are at this moment for them but I'm personally kind of fed up with it. I sometimes feel people are manipulative and overly needy, not of me but in general of other people here. I dont respond sometimes, I dont have to and I dont have to read all of it. I dont like seeing people wallowing in self pity and expecting the forum to be some sort of magic wand that will end their problems. This isn't because I'm uncomfortable with it, its just that I see it. I also see a load of people that are here for a reason. That reason being to improve and work out a way of dealing with their PTSD. IMO I think we all need to respect each other more and offer more solutions and ideas and experiences rather than sympathy or 'your trauma isn't as bad as mine' sort of responses. At the moment the forum feels such a negative place and PTSD is negative enough. I'm not saying its wrong to voice it here. Its not but there is good stuff too. There IS progress and we are all winning mini wars in our own ways every day.
I dont expect everyone to agree with this, its my opinion and not directed at any indivdual, but I've thought it for a while and decided to voice it.
