      After dealing with my PTSD with various types of drugs and alcohol I almost died. Now I deal with it as a mind over matter thing. I'm predisposed to anxiety already so having PTSD is just downright scary and it's hereditary so I know it's all on how choose to handle things that happen to me in my life it can get very difficult I just have to tell myself that it's all in my head

      Have you tried getting a lawyer for your disability? That's what I had to do after getting denied so many times, she just took 10%

      i understand the chemistry level what the PTSD is doing to my body …… however because it was untreated for so many years because i didn’t understand what was wrong with me…… i have so many ER visit it’s embarrassing because they couldn’t find what was wrong….,, until i took some classes i’m college…… my body is in flight er flight mode all the time and that’s what’s causing all the gut issues and auto immune disease……. my goal in life was to be a nurse i graduated with my associates and it was a big challenge didn’t think i was gonna complete it, now i find myself struggling to continue to get into nursing because of my situation. i can’t handle daily stress ….. i can’t function……. as much as i want it so bad i feel stuck like never before….. i feel like i failed myself………

      I hear you. Mine was just diagnosed though the largest trauma I suffered was more than 10 years ago. I’ve also been through therapists and nothing seems to work. It’s debilitating. I have no advice, but you are not alone. I’m in the middle of a traumatic situation and have used medical marijuana to help me just get through it. Not a permanent solve, though.

      Did any of your therapist tell you that PTSD changes the Braun chemistry and you have to work hard to change it back. I have made one nightmare a year and maybe only a few triggers here and there. I was diagnosed in 2011and do not work. Cannot. Filed disability,fought for ten years and was denied. I also have other things too but.. its hard but you can over come it.
