Feminist Atheist got PTSD from Twitter

[url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2605888/Woman-claims-PTSD-Twitter-cyberstalking-says-bit-war-veterans.html[/url] [quote]As a result of her PTSD, Ms Hensley says she is working from her home, but she remains active on Twitter. On Wednesday she posted several disclaimers to her earlier tweet: '1) I didn't self-diagnose or decide to have PTSD. I was diagnosed by a very good psychiatrist. I'm not looking for armchair psychiatrists. '2) I respect military and would call commanders and other authorities only to defend myself against threats. '3) I don't discount military vets' PTSD. I care about everyone with PTSD. I want people to realize that it is not a military-only condition.' MailOnline contacted Ms Hensley for comment, but she replied that she is 'not well enough to answer questions'.[/quote] I'm not sure you people understand the point of this thread, and are specifically responding to the parts of the article I left out, such as claims about her illness being similar to that experienced by veterans. This is about the tangible effects of cyberbullying.

  • Now, this woman may not represent either of those ideologies completely...but an idiot is an idiot, no matter what you believe in. Sure, many people have PTSD, and it doesn't have to be from military situations (the Boston Marathon Bombing, for example, led to many cases of PTSD, and many cancer survivors have it, too.) But to claim you got it through dissenting opinions on the Internet basically means that every single person on Xbox probably has PTSD because they were tea-bagged once in Halo.
