Hi 🖐 and thanks for your post. 👍Trauma in our life is so hard to deal with. At times, coping is too much to do on our own or our healing needs a helping hand.

I can recommend touching base with a therapist who can provide trauma informed care and be there to work with you on the recovery journey.

If you can have a talk with your family about your PTSD, you might be surprised about how much help you might get to support you.

Maybe your relationship won't allow this but find at least one trusted person to talk to.

As always, members in this forum throw their arms around you to keep you safe. 💚💙💜

Best wishes from me in Australia 🦘

Hi having similar problems nightmares etc , my nightmares are very real and effect me during the day, then dread the night time, I explained to my doctor and he prescribed me quetiapine, they have helped me, suffered from this for some years. Hope this might help
