@Cyncar88 Hi Cyncar88, thank you for opening this discussion. I'm sorry you're going through so much confusion and pain. Let me see if some other members can share their experiences and how they cope with their PTSD with you.

I tend to walk myself through the past trauma and remind myself when I’m in a mental state that allows it remind myself it was not my fault and life happens.

I'm doing okay, my depression is getting worse and my bipolar psychosis is worsening as well. I hate having these issues, I feel so out of place and like I'm not supposed to be here idk

It's getting hard to cope but the thing that was helping me the most was when I was taking CBT cognitive behavioral therapy classes it was teaching me a lot of strategies on how to ground myself and keep myself into the present rather than allowing myself to go into the flash back and relive The experience unfortunately I'm no longer taking those classesI had to stop going when I lost my house so was homeless for a while I'm now housed ,so yeah on that note , what i learned during CBT classes was really educational as well as freeing if you can actually bring yourself to utilize the tools that you learned whichis kind of the harder part is actually utilizing tools you learn
