Courage - I suffer from PTSD too. And it took me a long time to get more or less out or under control. It never leaves entirely - especially when I dream and wake up because I relived what caused it. I do not know what could help you. For me it started with bad things (lots of booze, medication) and it took me nearly 18 months to get out of that. Sport, walking, doing something good helps. I wrote a book about all this - that also helped a lot.

I really wish you can get out of this horrible thing.

Thanks all... I thought it best to hide.. I really am grateful for your responses. Things are the same. I've been active and doing things that can help. I'm just questioning again why I try and end up here again. It's rough.
Welcome Mo

Your question is a valid one. I think recovery is like a spiral, with ups and then downs. At least it has been for me.

It is ok to be wherever you are at this moment.

We are here for you.

Me too. It’s a lot of pain to live with PTSD.The thoughts and memories won’t leave me alone and nobody in 3d land believes me unless they have some expertise in treating PTSD. So, I see you and hear you.

It’s kind of a fall down 7 times, get up 8 type of thing.

When I get my symptoms I find it very difficult to sleep yet when I crash out its finally peaceful a break from all these intrusive thoughts. I passed out in street not long ago due to it and hurt myself on the impact yet felt nothing and peaceful when I came round I saw a sea of faces all looking over me. I can't tell you how stressful regaining consciousness was. Dark thoughts are a real plague and highly stressful. I try to meditate but can't always stop the stream of thoughts . I love to find a way of time out without passing out or crashing out.
