It's is becoming more and more difficult for me to read on the forums. I'm posting this here because it's stressing me out, even though I would rather put it up front in general! Too many ppl who just don't understand would read it and reply ignorantly there, imo. (Ignorant in the proper sense.)

So many ppl posting social stuff in the General forum, or relationship stuff in general, because it "gets more reading in General." It's about to run me off the site, personally. IMO for some reason the Mods aren't able to move posts to where they belong, and remind newcomers and oldtimes alike that if all the posts were to go into one forum, DocJohn wouldn't have created all the different forums.

The general forum is where members go to read notes and questions that don't belong anywhere else, or items needing a general membership concensus, of importance or interest to all.

Too much social, relationship and other stuff in there! I normally read quite well, but when I'm stressed I am "barred" from reading the General forum because of clutter. I need to just know what important stuff is going on... general queries etc, not who's zooming who and such. I'm particularly upset because I missed something important because I couldn't read through all the clutter.

Yes, you're reading about my major trigger: people not doing what they know to do, or doing things they know better than doing. When I was injured, that's what happened and I didn't get any care for 3 days... then later and still continuing, authorities (ppl who make decisions) made excuses, accused others etc and still didn't correct the problems. Got me? Don't suggest I try and work through this, I've been in intensive therapy for over 17 years trying to work through this.

I'm not posting against any one member. I'm not upset with a brand new person getting their feet wet in posting in General. I'm not taking names or making note in any fashion. I don't run the site, I'm not a mod. I'm just another member and one who is quite frustrated right now. I don't wish for rebuttals in my thread here. If someone doesn't understand, then just leave it alone. Few ppl really understand PTSD and that includes those who have it. It just seems like when I need Psych Central the most, that is when I can't have it.

Can you tell it hasn't been a good week? I don't know how well I can continue until after the assessment. I actually feared the team coming yesterday without notice, just to see if I was telling the truth. All in my head?!

I'm trying to limit my posting during this time, but many of you have PM'd me wondering what's wrong. It's ok, you can continue to PM me and ask questions or whatever... I'm just trying to limit my responses as they might be tainted with sarcasm if I detect something triggering. This is my problem OK? I know it. Just letting you know, just letting off some steam... though it often doesn't do me any good. I need a break...don't see one anytime soon. TC
