Untreable?

A very good way of explaining PTSD... Not just to those who don't understand PTSD but also to me...

The most helpful thing a doctor told me after beating myself up for not getting better quick enough,was that I had to treat it like a chronic illness such as diabetes,which needs to be managed.

It will never go away but the high and low levels need to be managed as they happen.

Thanks Manic & Tessa.

That's a really positive message.

My therapist told me the same thing. Unfortunately I tend to forget it. Especially in the grips of a low. I think I need it stamped or tattooed somewhere I can see if so I don't forget.
