Dealing with PTSD and Trauma from Childhood

I was wondering how to deal with ptsd. I have a lot of trauma from family, friends, sexual assault, from my entire life since I was two years old. I haven't really found a way to deal with it and for a long time even now occasionally blame myself for everything that happened to me thinking that I deserved it or that maybe if I was the kind of person they wanted me to be it wouldn't have happened.

if you’re interested in literature, “the body keeps the score” is a really good place to start to learn about what trauma does to our bodies and how things like CBT, medication, yoga, etc can help one cope with PTSD. there is no “cure” imo but there are ways to manage it. good luck.

I have PTSD as well and had experienced sexual trauma from family and an ex. If you ever want to message and talk about anything, you can reach out to me! It’s definitely a hard thing to sort through and I blame myself for things too. I think this sort of trauma is just one of the hardest things to really process fully and understand.
