How are you treating it?

research and a lot of self awareness. oh and you have to be honest with yourself.

everyone is different, typically a good place to start is figuring out your triggers (example i avoid certain houses around town) and your symptoms (your reaction to the trigger) then finding ways to work through it, different types of therapies.

i typically will be having a problem "ok what caused this and how can i stop it". sure its being a couch therapist, i also cant help but notice that lots of people complain about therapists and im improving lol
no one knows you better than you.

I have complex PTSD - initially diagnosed with PTSD during my teenage years, but probably had it since before the age of 5. I did manage to keep it under control all my life (apart from couple of suicide attempts when I was 14 years old). However since the beginning of covid, everything has come to really haunt me more than usual and find it difficult to manage it myself.
