Pseudosufferers; How Do You Identify Trolls?

[billie]

I am very angry today as I have had a very bad week in therapy and I use this site as an outlet. However I am disapointed that today a person came on here pretending to be a sufferer, trying to gain stories from us. She posted many conflicting comments and was reported. It made me even more angry that this person only has to change her profile to get back in.

Is it just me or does anyone else get angry when they notice flaws in peoples pseudoposts? My hyper-vigilance is in overdrive and now I think this person has changed names. I dont want to stop this site but it makes me angry that we have already suffered from trauma, without thinking there are preditors here. Sorry If I am rambeling but I genuinely care for legitamate members here. Just a bad day I guess.......

No, as I have understood it, she can't come back if she's using the same ip-number, then she will be blocked again. Of course these kind of persons are very disturbing(and probably very disturbed in other ways than 'just' PTSD), but there have been very few of them in here, and Anthony, and the staff, is very good at dealing with them. That's why they are so 'harsh', because they want to protect us and this site. There is no place on earth were no potential abusers can come and try to do 'their thing'(but I don't think everyone being sick enough to pretend to have PTSD is an abuser:but driven by other sick motives). If we want to protect us from EVERYTHING that triggers us we would have to avoid the world and everyone in it all together. I'm sorry you are triggered, but maybe you could use this as a practise in trying to ground and calm your self down? And look at what the triggering brought up? Maybe bring it up with your therapist too.Sorry you are having a bad week. When I am having a bad week I get stressed out even more by other stuff as well.
(Edited: because I wasn't reading your post carefully enough the first time. A bit too tired.. Sorry! :) )

Thankyou for your reply, yes I do have a few sessions a week, which has been goning on for about a yr for c-PTSD. I never realized I was triggered, thankyou for bringing that up; I definetly was. It makes sense as it felt like this person was fishing for ideas and it was an exploitation of members here. It was reported. I guess those pathetic sorts that do try to exploit us could never survive the stuff we endured.

Where at, what thread?

 

[billie]

Would you help me write a story?, Hi everybody, Dissociation or Catatonia. It's been reported.

We are all human!!! Everybody have their own personalities and if they upset you... Tell them.

I saw that in the chit chat thread. Where is the other thread that person posted? There was mention of another.

Introductions and I think discussion. Yeah I just got angry and I was definently triggered.

@billie - you weren't the only one. I was too caught up in my own drama to continue reading it all, so I stopped. Well done, for putting two and two together and acting.

 

[billie]

Thanks Echo. It was just a huge trigger for me and so many people here have helped me I didn't want to see anyone taken advantage of.

What was the name change?

Concerning the name change: Im not sure now. I think my hyper-vigilance induced a mini panic attack. I thought another new person wrote similar, but now I think that part may not be right? ??? I was definitely triggered!
