I realise I have joined the conversation a bit late in the show, but I wanted to add my two cents worth, even if you've moved on because hey, I already did and THEN went and read the rest of the thread. :D
By the way, I don't find your avatar "scary as f*ck" everyone knows the Hulk was out of control with his rage and looked like he was on roids, and I suspect that it not only symbolises the rage you experience as a person with ptsd, as we all do, but also perhaps you WANT to have people here leave you alone for the most part, but still want to vent? Am I right? We all have our own unique methods of repelling people when we want to be left alone.
So,is the statement you made that I quoted something you've just decided is the truth or do you know that for a fact? I know that many people here appreciate having someone show them empathy, as they haven't received much of it anywhere else, so sometimes, if you don't make it clear what you want and post stuff people interpret it to mean that you might want to feel better...and it makes them feel better to make other people feel better as well. They weren't to know that it doesn't make you feel better because you didn't specifically tell them you didn't want that. Your bad.
Personally a bit of empathy and "I'm sorry you feel like crap" from strangers does help me sometimes, and I know it helps a lot of others, as we didn't get it from the people who were meant to show us compassion and empathy. When lots of people like that approach at times, it's easy to assume everyone does. At least we all know now not to waste our finger breath with you in that way.
