coping?

[JustBlake]

I need some help. I have been dealing with PTSD for years now but it just keeps getting worse. I guess you could say I have been ignoring it. Does anyone have any suggestions for coping?

As odd as it may sound, I think, that everybody adapts to their own way of coping with their various conditions. These are set routines we may go through. Kind of like we build our lives around the condition. What we can do and what we can't do. It is a form of avoiding certain aspects of things. But on the whole we find what is best for us and we tend to run with it. You never did say if you saw a a therapist at all? A good one does help in many ways. New skills to use when needed. Exercises that put you on the spot. More importantly the reason why you are how you are. It all helps. Even if you imagine you know the answers already. There is still so much more to be learned. No matter how many years we have been sufferering. Learning is still done. You mention nothing of medication either? Not saying it is needed. Some people can go without. Theraphy alone might do the trick. That would be my answer. Finding a good therapist is all important. One you can work with. If there is anything more you would like to share feel free to add in the missing parts. Others might give a better insight.
