I have Cptsd, all the same symptoms. I take buspirone as needed for anxiety attacks which has reduced them greatly and talk therapy helped me process things, get validation and support, and identify which triggers I can work on successfully to live functionally and which ones just need to be avoided until further notice. Trauma is an incredibly difficult thing to heal from and its important to take baby steps and give yourself credit for any progress.

Do you have meds for anxiety? Listen to music, journaling or drawing helps.
