It all depends on how much relevance you chose to put on the event(s). I think nothing, if anything, of mine; thus, I rarely think about it. If I were thinking about it all the time, as you imply, then, I would't be able to do it.

Live and let live. You can't change it, best to shrug it off.

First of all... I'm sorry to say this, but this particular post makes my head hurt a little bit just reading it.
u= you
I would greatly appreciate if you would take the time to type out the word you since it isn't very difficult to do so.

Second of all, post tramatic disorder does not mean someone is automatically going to "become goth", though it might push people closer to the darker things in life, and they may very well find solace in the themes that are generally assocated with being goth.

Third, even I might be guilty of the occasional run on sentance, but puncutation is your friend. Trust me on this.

Now, to go for what I believe to be the theme of this topic:
A lot of people in this guild have sufferred various forms of abuse at the hands of others. Some at the hands of peers, and others at the hands of family. There are a few different coping mechanisims each person has found in order to deal with the pains they have suffered. Perhaps they might even be kind enough to share some of these things with us in order to help others find new means of coping.

The human mind is a strange thing. Some people completly block from their memory times that they have been abused. Others blame themselves needlessly for things that were beyond their control. Still others might lash out all of their anger, pain, and aggression at completly random targets. Each person has a different way of dealing with trauma, and what might work for one person may not be suitable for another. As mentioned in a few other threads, some people turn to cutting for various reasons. It's not really a solution In can endorse, but I'm not going to condemn people for it either.

I'm not really sure how many people in the guild actually suffer from post tramatic stress disorder, nor do I know what might have been a trigger for something of that nature to manifest itself. If you're lucky other people will choose to share a bit about themselves.

I was sexually abused for 7 years by the very parents that gave me life. I was also abused by friends of theirs. I was given up for adoption by them. I was cut, burnt, and stabed in school.

I have pain.

I have memories.

I chose to see it diferently. If you think i can't comrehend your pain, you are right. I can't.

... as the girl said she has been through pleanty of pain... so have many of us here but we learn to deal with it... to move on and not be its slave... you need to grow up and stop living in your past, live life for today.

P.S.
for god sakes please stop acting like a damn drama queen...

I was diagnosed with PTSD about a year ago now; it's not my reason for becoming goth though.

I know how it is; I know what it's like to collapse, I know what it's like to have the flashbacks, the cutting, all of it. Only you can stop this, and you will have to, before it claims you. Seek consuelling if talking helps, try work through things. PM me if you need a chat, I'm always around.

Like another I was Sexually abused by my father. I've been stabbed and beaten up, I've seen the guy I loved die, I've contemplated suicide, I've self injured; but I'm here, and I'm alive. Most people don't realise I'm "damaged" when they meet me now. You can survive, you just have to want to.

It largely depends on what you think goth is.

I personally believe that a goth is an avid fan of goth-rock, and I don't think events in a person's life can affect musical preferences.  

[-Resurrected Writer-]

It wasn't a single event; it was accumulation.
At first I was pessimistic; now I am what I am now: a bit more of a realist than I was before, but still generally leaning towards a darker view.

What you all think of Goth is possibly that new crap we all call it; Goth originated in the dark ages.

See, I'm not a Goth. I'm an Emo. There's a difference,
If small or big, There's still a difference.

I've turned to a darker lifestyle due to a recent loss. It's my way of turning death into something "cool" and not overwhelmingly destructive.s

What you're describing is called massocism, in your case trauma induced. With most things in my life I can say live and let live, or whatever similar philosophy that you may call it, however in extreme cases I often resort to the cutting and mutilation of my body for relief. I would like to emphasize that this is not for attention from others as I do it in inconspicous areas so as not to be seen. I probably understand your situation better than most, If you want to talk to someone that won't judge you about stuff or ridicule you, send a message my way. I'd be glad to listen.
