How many of you have problems posting correctly on Rally Point due to physical or psychological problems?

I just wonder how many others are like me when it comes to posting questions or comments. I take a lot of med due to PTSD, heart, thyroid, joint conditions etc., so some times my brain works a lot faster than my fingers and I forget part of sentences or mispell works, which I think sometimes causes confusion or misunderstanding for others. Sometimes I go back and read what I posted and it don't even make a lot of sense to me. Does anyone else experience this or should I just stop posting?

If you are replying from a phone you could use the mic and speak type it. Never stop posting your views and experiences!!!They are important. There is always a way.

I personally don't have any problems posting because of medication I have the occasional fat finger syndrome! So what I have to do is slow down and proof read what I've typed to make sure everything is spelled right and that it makes sense to me.

Never stop posting everyone on here knows what it's like to have a hard time doing something and if they can't deal with that then they can just scroll on by!

I re-read everything I type about three times before hitting respond, and still mess up about 25% of the time. There's a reason we can edit. Don't sweat it too much.

One of my meds causes cognitive slowing (topiramate) depending on which brand they give me which month. And depending on how bad of a migraine I have, I can be downright "mean" (my wife calls it "rattlesnake mean"), though that is never my intent.

Don't ever stop posting though. As long as your intent isn't to belittle, any minor foible in grammar will be quickly forgiven.

Don't stop posting. Post as your own outlet and those that value your thoughts will deal with editing problems.
