Hi All,
I new here - recently my therapist diagnosed me with a moderate case of PTSD which I have probably been suffering from for the last 7 years or so...
What she says makes sense and I'm slowly becoming aware of what triggers my PTSD...
I have had 3 significant triggers in the last week and I don't know what to do with myself...
I self medicate with food and have gained way too much weight...
I'm on lexapro and trazodone (I see a psychiatrist)... I'm also in weekly therapy and try to do the things my therapist says I should do - like art therapy and signing up for a yoga class....
Yoga class is today but I'm so overwhelmed with my emotions I just want to stay in my condo and watch TV and eat myself into oblivion...
I'm so tired of being so overwhelmed and lost and it feels like nobody understands me or can give me strategies that will help me cope when I'm in the middle of a major attack...
I do a guided meditation each night, I try to exercise daily, I just don't know what else to do...
I feel so discouraged....and there is no one to hold my hand or comfort me....
I have good friends but nobody who "gets it"....
What do I do?
