Another PTSD post - how do I manage episodes that come up pretty regularly, even a year later? Anyone have a tough time transitioning to workforce because of this and did you manage to get it under control?

I would advocate for the vet center definitely, and also that therapy is something that should be a continuous part of your life...I think we don't really see the benefits for a long time but there are definitely some methods like CBT that cna help

Thanks! I will look more into it! I appreciate your feedback!

Talking "about it" took power from it for me. I think in psych profession, it's called talk therapy or something. I'm all for professional help....I white knuckled my way for over 6 years and finally sought treatment, and everything improved. Unfortunately, I had caused much damage by then.

That is really interesting. I'm glad everything improved. I will look more into it.

I second the vet centers. When I got out I got involved with veteran groups pretty heavily. I’m past that now, for the most part but I did benefit from WWP, TeamRWB and the American Legion for awhile. Mainly from the relationships with other Vets I met along the way.

That is good to know! I will definitely check it out! I'm glad it worked for you.

Avoid triggers: Triggers are reminders of trauma and can come in many forms, such as sensations, thoughts, or even upsetting news stories. If you can identify specific triggers for your PTSD episodes, try to avoid them.

Thanks! I'm working on it. I sometimes feel those triggers pop up from anywhere...

Engage in self-care. A healthy mind and body can better respond to and recover from traumatic stress reactions. Eat a balanced and healthy diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, avoid doing drugs and alcohol, and take adequate time to relax.

Thanks! I think sleep is something I have been lacking. I will be working harder on that!

If it's possible for me to step away from the situation and regroup, that's my first go-to. I'll usually step outside, take some deep breaths and meditate for a few minutes. If this isn't an option, then I try and find a focal point - something I can see or touch - that will help keep me in the moment and prevent me from going down a wrong path. It takes time and you have to figure out what works best for you, but those are two suggestions you might want to consider.

That is a good tip! I will find a way to incorporate it when these episodes happen.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
