Living in a PTST world

I have PTST from severe trauma, and most of it has been "blocked" in my mind. But this year, as for so many others, my anxiety and PTSD has gone into overdrive. There is no medication to stop it. There is no way to hide from the horrors that are happening all over the world. But one thing I have had to do to keep myself from being in panic mode all day long is I shut down social media and news. I know this sounds redundant, but the more negativity I see and read, the worse my symptoms get, and all I want to do is crawl under my bed and never come out. It's just two things I have done recently, to try and stay calmer.
