Good morning, I’m new here. I’m wondering if anyone else have ever dealt with PTSD and if so How did you handle the out bursts? Nothing seems to work.

Copeing with PTSD
Hi and welcome! For those who have it, PTSD is very individual and so is how it's coped with. There isn't a "one size fits all". If you're comfortable, could we get some more details surrounding yours and maybe we can help? Also, HealthUnlocked has a community called "Heal my PTSD".
Good afternoon, I am not really sure what you are looking for, but I have a few things that I do to help myself when I need to calm down that I can share with you;1). I take a deep breath in and then let it out. (Repeat)
2). I pray to God and just say: "God please help me to relax.
3). I walk away and try to refocus my thoughts.
4).I will put on some music that is calm and soothing.
I am struggling with ptsd flashbacks. It sucks me into the past and the emotions are raw and intense.
Breathing in and out, and focusing my entire mind on each breath is the only way to calm myself down.I have also used the Root app and hit the panic button, which will guide my breathing.
Stay strong. Heal My PTSD is a great community to join.
