PTSD tips?

Question

I have been struggling with PTSD for 4 years now and it is coming up on the anniversary so the whole thing is worse. On top of the beauty of health class going over dating abuse I am almost always in the verge. And tips on how to regain control?

Answer

Try grounding techniques, I’m not a mental health specialist or anything, but I find that at times when I start getting panic-y grounding helps as well as a distraction. I use music. Spotify has a lot of really good “calm down” playlists. Maybe create a code word or a signal you can give a friend or teacher when you find yourself slipping, so they can help snap you out of it and calm you down. My friend Taylor has really bad anxiety and she and I use a codeword system so I can help remove her from the situation and calm her down. Maybe try a stress ball if that helps too. Or a toy of some sort, hope it gets better love xx

Answer

Sadly I dont have much advice for you but I struggle with PTSD from an abusive relationship I will never forget the anxiety attack I had after sitting through health class talking about abuse.  You are not alone, we are out there and we will get through it and be okay.

Answer

It’s really really really hard but sometimes (or well in my case) it’s because of the situation and it’ll never go away but you become I guess more prone to it? Like you’re able to recognize your anxiety and such is from the ptsd. Remind yourself today is a new day ❤️
