A suggestion - re title of posts - instantly relating to circumstances - Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Message Board

I've have this thought for a week or so now and I hope the mods don't think it's inappropriate!

I've read your post, ylanda and others. I feel sure if the cause of your ptsd were in the title, more people would instantly relate to your situation. I don't want anyone falling by the wayside. I know it means alot when 2 people can truly empathize, ptsd and their cause. (although the symptoms are all similar, regardless of cause).

HI Isitme,

my only worry is that it might trigger someone - I think it would be a bit confronting seeing that on the board - and it may stop someone from contributing because they have not had that exact experience - but that is only my opinion - maybe they could have an icon that indicated what the event was or a colour? that would probably be too hard - just thinking out loud - sometmes i think we are dealing with feelings that link us all even though the events are different. thankyou for your suggestion I do see where it would be helpful MBC
