[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a traumatic first birth and ended up with PTSD. I reached out for help on these boards right away because I knew something wasn’t right and was slammed, shamed, and made to feel like a selfish prima Donna. It made me feel crazy and horrible. It took me a full year to get help and by then I was suicidal. I was diagnosed with PTSD immediately by the psychiatrist.  People here have no idea how much they can hurt someone through the cloak of the internet.

That’s why you talk to friends, family or a therapist.  Not strangers on the internet.[/quote]

NP — I mean, true, but why do strangers on the internet have to be total aholes to each other? I find it hard to believe that most of the insensitive, mean, unnecessary comments here are made by people who would say these things to anyones face in real life (not just this thread, but generally). It’s always disappointing to see the vast majority of online spaces are dominated by people with nothing better to do than behave like this. Once in a blue moon when you find a community that isn’t like that, it can add so much value. [/quote]
