Dearest Troy its been a long time since we have talked..but..
I just wanted to say that5 having PTSD too I completely understand what you are feeling. But I also think you have done an incredible job of sharing and creating a forum here for yourself and any others who have stumbled across this site looking to feel normal again or just have a brighter day.
If you need to take a break, take a break. But you don't have to shut the door completely! You can visit us ANY time, if just to read, or to post a hello, or just sit a while.
I personally(opinion) don't get the comment from the other site. Sympathy? Well you deserve tons of it I think. Are you asking for it? I can't say that for sure but what I can say is that you are worth every bit of help and hugs you get and you deserve to feel better.
I hope you still read these
