To all that come here seeking help or information, you will be able to find in all of the various forums; no matter what issues you are going through, there is always a helping hand to raise you up and provide hope and support when you need it the most."

It is not so easy to be diagnosised with ptsd as I have found with others over my many years of blistered feet walking the east coast helping others in crisis,,,,,,,once it is in your records, as it being a very serious diagnosis, that is why it may take forever, thank goodness not as bad as years ago, but have faith for those that do not get a diagnosis right away, and let no one who does not have a md, give a one hundred percent yes or no to what you have, if they are not medically certified.

Trust your own instincts, md's fail too.

and i'm only a medic,,,,,,,,dr's rank supreme, but for fact info, in an auto accident medics are the ones allowed only to do the work, so they come first in line to do the gruesome work, cops have to wait, and cannot intervene, except to call certain dept. in the law feild who needs to also be there to write a report. fyi

I wrote to at least two leaders and denied to be leader since this is my feild i live with everyday, no one accepted me, once my mouth opened, but it seems a hyerachy as deemed themselves self supreme, but I am passionate about those going through this, that a petty denial stops me , not!!!

I care, to get to anyone reaching words and wisdom of strides i have made in a very battlefield memory, that i can only take credit for trying to unscrew, and will never completely, I am a realist, but anyone person telling you on this site their opinion, is just that,,,,,an opinion,,,,,,,,,and nothing more.

Like the dianosis multiple personality disorder is a very extremely rare diagnosis, and I do believe I know someone on here i have seen in a psych unit, and saw little petty things done, to prove the diagnosis nil,,,,,,,,anywho,,,,,,,,we are here to help those that need us here today, that come and and were as lost as us, when every part of our being is destroyed on the onslaught of the darkened sides of all of our ailments, we could have only cherished having mentors, that finally gave words that made sense, like we are doing now, back then.

We are all here to help, and this is not a site of power supreme, nor do we need anyone thinking that.

I have witness of late, a few personalities being self knocked off the horse, I have also ridden, of power to want to be the fixer of all. I cannot be that person nor can anyone else.

It really is nice to see others actually caring about each other better, and not causing strife for those new comers that need our strength, and not our human flaws aired.

peace to all,

blessings, to all, ALL,

Ok, Ok, Ok. Can we take this down a notch? I'm not saying don't express yourselves, but if there's an issue, does it really need to be made public? That makes people think they have to defend themselves, and then it's just a huge mess on the fourm. Can we think for the good of all the group please?

Yes this is a huge topic as I get pm's by others, who will no longer be in certain groups, because of feeling rejected people who's words of wisdom to help others.

So if anyone is offended, not my problem.

I don't want others to feel the need to leave a group, as so many have, because of the words used in pm's and posts to them, that have been sent to me,,,,,,,,I did write Roy, concerning this.

Roy needs us to be team workers,,,,,,,bottom line.

He has enough on his plate.

This site is for People Helping People. So new group leaders, I wish you to feel guided by your fellow leaders, and have them greet you, let you know the basics, and keep new leaders,,,,,,that need to help others, as like myself, I am one to help others,,,

and always be.

I'm just saying.....this may be better handled in pms. I've never noticed anything, at least in this group, that your mentioning. But, if it's true (and if you feel it is, then its true to you) wouldn't it be best handled in private with the people you mention?

Not to mention, with PTSD comes paranoia from some people, including me. So these types of posts may put more people on edge than you intended.
