Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for sharing what you're going through-dealing with trauma is super tough sometimes, and it's really not fair that we have to handle everything alone all the time.
Anyway, talking to a therapist who knows their way around PTSD can make such a huge difference. They're like superheroes dedicated to helping people heal from traumatic experiences. And hey, maybe bringing up your PTSD struggles with family isn't off-limits-surprisingly enough, they might come through for you in ways that you wouldn't expect.
Finding one or two close buddies who get it is also super important. It's okay if talking things over isn't a thing between you and your partner right now-I know some relationships can make that tough-but just having even one person to confide in is pretty powerful.
And hey, everyone here-these folks in the forums-are really supportive and they're always ready to lend an ear or offer a shoulder when you need it. We've got each other's backs big time!

Thanks. Therapists here suck. Wish my family got it.You're here, that helps.
Same here. Nightmares mess with me all day. Doc gave me quetiapine. Wors for me after a few years of trouble. Hope it helps you too.
Doc's being careful with the meds. Thanks.
