I have done that too where I have tried to post a thread and end up deleting it. And sometimes I find what I posted helpful enough for myself that it's not worth posting it all. Then there are times where I am venting and delete because I decide "nope, no one is going to get this and it's going to end up causing more problems instead of helping".

When I first joined PC the ptsd was really bad. I kept feeling the only way I could avoid being misunderstood or getting the same questions or comments was to repeat. That's because when I reached out for help I was so incredibly misunderstood, even a psychiatrist who looked over my records looked at me and said "wow you are a very misunderstood woman". Ugh I will never forget that session because it cost me $500.00 just to hear that one statement.
