I witnessed an event that's scarred me and I was diagnosed with PTSD. How can I cope? It's given me terrible anxiety and I can't sleep.

I can relate, message me if you want or need to talk to someone.

Something that has helped me is to write down the things that are bothering me. Then, put it away. Try not to sit at the piece of paper or whatever you write on too long, or it can make it worse.

If it was one traumatic event, give it time it will pass❤️

There is another board on here just for ptsd, click on My hub and I think it will ask you if you want to find a community, click Find a Community and it should show you all the options. I will double-check and come back here to edit if need be.
