A couple of you folks have sent this link from the UK’s Daily News<\/a> which reports that a woman, Melody Hensley, has been diagnosed by a doctor with PTS from her Twitter activity;<\/p>\n

Ms Hensley, head of an organisation promoting secular ideas, has suffered from PTSD for more than a year, according to her Twitter account.<\/p>\n

In an interview with DailyDot.com, Ms Hensley says she became a target for ‘atheist misogynists and men’s rights activists’ a few years back, following her open status as an atheist and feminist activist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She continues that she is just like a war veteran because of the constant haranguing she takes on social media. Oh, yeah, she’s so upset and scared that she doesn’t leave her house, but she continues to monitor her open Twitter account. I guess the glaringly obvious solution here is to turn off the computer, you know the same solution that soldiers in combat get to do.<\/p>\n

One man in particular has waged a two-year hate campaign against her by publishing her tweets using Storify, others have cut-and-pasted her tweets into YouTube videos, belittling her claims of PTSD.<\/p>\n

She claims to be harassed by a cybermob of \u2018more than 400 people\u2019 which led to her diagnosis.<\/p>\n

On her Twitter feed Ms Hensley outlines her history of PTSD in several posts, saying she was bedridden for the first six months following her diagnosis, and that she has been so distressed about the online hatred she fears leaving her house unaccompanied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, she sounds like some of our trolling phonies who are horrified by the way we treat them, even though the only reason that they’re harassed is if they click on that TAH link that brings them to the words about them. Her problem as well as the endless list of phonies is that they can’t stand that someone is saying bad things about them somewhere.<\/p>\n

But it’s not like combat, lady. You can’t just navigate to another page to get out of an ambush or an IED attack. And, oh yeah, her doctor is an idiot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
