Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

@Former-Member  ... stunning picture ... I adore those colours in the butterfly picture.  And the words are very inspiring. Thanks so much.  😊💕  Try to remember that the same applies to you.

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Thanks @outlander @Zoe7 @Sans911 @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 🤗💜

I am really sorry I got any of you involved in all this tonight. So so sorry. And yes Sans, I hope it will blow over and everyone will be okay .. including Musicfanatic. Sans ... I feel terrible .. I really do. I tried to back out once I realised what was happening, but the tags kept bombarding me. I was trapped with nowhere to go. Now .... I just desperately feel the need to run .. escape .. hide. Anything but be here. And yet I'm drawn ... almost like a moth to a flame. Silly me.

@Zoe7 ... I was very relieved when I saw your post. I had been really worried about you.

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

You did not get anyone involved in anything @Former-Member I also tried to help her out Thursday night and got a similar response - so I backed away completely (actually left for the last couple of days) so I didn't have to deal with it. Unfortunately, as I have said elsewhere already tonight, I could see this happening as it has twice before - and if I remember rightly you also tried to help on one of those occasions too. So it is not your fault in any way, shape or form. We all have our own things to deal with but please do not see this as one you have to Hon. I know you hate conflict - and it is a trigger for you - but you did absolutely nothing wrong. Be kind to yourself Sherry and allow your head to rest here upon our shoulders Heart

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Many of us have been caught in these sorts of misunderstandings before @Former-Member, where the more you try to diffuse it the trickier it seems to become ..... so the best thing usually is for everyone to take a step back and "let the floodwaters subside", which is something @mudsum  shared a quote for tonight.

Then stay here @Former-Member in the warmth and love of your forum family like I am. What a mess huh? There is safety in numbers. You deserve to be here and receive support. You are most certainly worthy of that and I'd like you to stay. Please 💕💕💕💕

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Yes @Zoe7 , I did get tangled up with same once before.  But when constantly tagged ... seems you're damned if you respond ... and damned if you dont.  If you dont respond they think you 'hate them' are ignoring them or bullying them or something. True ... I cannot handle conflict.  And likely now I'm going to be in trouble again!  Another strike towards permanent banishment. Bl**dy hell ... I'm so stupid. Soon I wont have here, I'll have nothing.

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

I tried to step back @Faith-and-Hope  ... I accepted apology offered and apologised back. Stepped away and then got bombarded with tags and desperate pleas to accept apology again, and again, and again.  Now I'm going to be in trouble for 'alluding to other members' ... another strike another black mark.  Doing really good tonight arent I?

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

@Former-Member hugs and hugs 💖💖💖

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

Yes @Sans911 ... a mess indeed.  I want to stay, but when it comes down to it, sadly it likely wont be my choice.  I'm clocking up the black marks every post I make now.  This will be another one.  I fear that I am imploding.  

Re: Living with PTSD (Potentially Triggering Material)

You have not breached any guidelines @Former-Member so I cannot see how there would be any issue with your post or your responses. You were asked a question that you answered honestly and I felt you did the right thing in not responding any further. There was no need - you stated your were going to leave her alone and that should have been the end of it - not your fault at all.

 

Whether we like it or not we are not responsible for another's actions, words or reactions - so I say again to you sweet Sherry - you did nothing wrong. 

 

I am going to pull up my beanbag, grab Tobes and snuggle in here with you tonight - whether you like it or not you aren't getting rid of me lol Here for you so you know you are not only supported but loved Heart

 

ps - a stupid is NEVER a word I would associate with you - just sayin'
