Sufferer Surivivor Of Severe Trauma

[lisagrace]

Thank you Angel and Elisa for your replies. I am waiting to get some input on how to do the grammar thing more correctly so I am afraid to post too much until I get that figured out, but I wanted you to know in the meantime that I appreciated your replies and look forward to talking more with you and the others soon.

gratefully,

Hi lisagrace, what a beautiful name! This is a really cool place, the people are super nice to me, hopefully you will think so too!

I took your post that was flagged, lisagrace, and put it in Word. Ran the spelling/grammar check, found in the Tools, top menu bar pull down, and copied and pasted your post into a blank document. What it showed in red was didn't, the red being the missing apostrophe in the original post.

I have to admit, even as a paper grader in graduate school (I was a teaching assistant for an Art Historian from Harvard [picky]), and then 15 years of teaching in higher ed, I did not catch the misstep. Sometimes it is hard to be precise when we are feeling so imprecise, myself included on many days.

Welcome to the forum. There are wonderful and supportive people here. Many of us have been flagged. Try not to take it too personally. I hope you will find what you need here. (((Hugs))) And a shout out to (((((Srain))))) for the idea for using Word!!!

Amen to that! soulofLC

It is probable that a moderator already edited the post after it was warned so whatever the original grammar issue was, it was already corrected which is why no error shows up.

It just makes me feel so scared if I miss something unintentionally and miss correcting it and then I will just get more bad points - this in and of itself is very traumatic for me and causing all kinds of triggers that are pulling me to not post or engage. I am just sick about this. I don't mean to make these mistakes. Grammar isn't a strong suit and asking for perfection or get bad points feels really unnerving to me. How can I do a check like word does? I am in tears... I so need to not be isolated and this feels like it is just backfiring on me. It doesn't help that I have been really struggling with triggers and panic attacks today... please forgive me and if you can tell me how to do a grammar check each time I will be glad to. The sooner the better as I feel I am not going to make it much longer staying so isolated.

Thank you,

Thanks. I really dont know my way around too well yet.

I have been in a really bad spot lately and feeling very desperate, feel like just throwing in the towel :(

Thank you for talking with me though.

My reply #10 should be read:
Thank you Sterre and John - wow, thanks - I didn’t expect to get much response especially so quickly...
I can definitely identify with suffering deeply...

I have a dissociative disorder and survived (well I guess that is still to be seen) some pretty severe trauma from infancy up through my adult years until Jan of 2009. I am really struggling a lot right now; feeling pretty done-in.

Thanks for reaching out to me

I hope maybe to get to know the ropes here more and see you all around more...

Thank you for your patience. I hope to get more confident and be able to share more and engage more with you all. It has meant so much to me to be so warmly responded to. Thank you.
