I have been diagnosed with PTSD. I suppose that it might be part of why I don't post much any more. Reading threads isn't usually a problem for me and so I read pretty much everything in this forum. Replying is a different matter altogether though. I am so conflict averse that the thought of saying something that will upset or anger someone terrifies me. I tend to freeze and panic at the first hint of conflict, which I guess is a PTSD sort of response.
Now I just tend to think about posting and think fondly of all of the people here that I really like, as well as the ones that have been absent, and then refrain from posting as a way to avoid upsetting anyone.
Not sure if that's a PTSD thing or not...
