PTSD and not sure what to do

[herbeiflorin]

hello - I have PTSD, I don't know what to do, I'm 23 years old, I've had this problem for 2 years. I do sports, I eat quite often, I do sports, but it is very difficult for me to communicate with people I also have a low-level treatment, I'm desperate, I don't know how to overcome this problem and live my life.

Step one - See a psychiatrist if you can. Psychiatrists diagnose. They will also recommend a method of treatment that will likely help you best.
Step two - Find a psychologyst who specializes in Trauma care and the kind of treatment you were recommended.

Depending where you live there may be an organization to help you find help as well.
