I am sorry that you are struggling with my post, and I am sorry for your pain. I believe I have explained myself the best that I know how in replies to other people's relies to my initial posting...
I believe that we are entitled to our pain, and we are entitled to our various journeys of recovery; as part of MY RECOVERY (which includes PTSD) I needed to get something off my chest--what I posted is MY PERCEPTION; I am not saying that EVERYONE in here posts negative things all the time; however, MY PERCEPTION leads me to believe that there are those in here not really interested in recovery...THAT IS MY PERCEPTION, and though it may offend you, or even though MY PERCEPTION is not factual, it is still MY PERCEPTION. Perhaps I should have used a different word than "RAMPANT" but I think I should no longer have to explain this any longer.
I enjoy these forums, and am EXTREMELY grateful for the support that I have received in here; there are many wonderful people in various stages of their journey (as am I) and would not expect that every post in here be of a positive nature. With that thought, I will probably post more frustrations of my journey, or things from my past...however, I (AGAIN MY PERCEPTIONS) don't think it to be of use to anyone here if ALL I POST are negative feelings. AGAIN< THIS IS MY OPINION BASED UPON MY PERCEPTIONS.
Thank you, & I truly wish you the best on your journey; this post was just something I needed to share as part of mine.
