I understand the flashbacks and fears are difficult. I go through them myself. One of my friends trauma happened to them a few years ago, and it still effects them. It'll always effect you, but in time, we can decrease the flashbacks and fears. There was a link I read which had some helpful steps. If'd you'd like I could send it to you. But don't give up. Even before my trauma, I was suicidal. And I'm still here. Mainly because I wanted to achieve things. Seeing my friends get married and get old is only one of them. And I can't do that when dead. My friends help me with the flashbacks and suicidal thoughts.
Maybe making new friends or finding old friends will help you too. Because it's helped me. I know we're all different. And each person's trauma is different also. But you aren't the only one out there. I'm here. And so are many others. :)

Are you having any therapy for your PTSD? I did nothing but suffer from my trauma until a bona fide PTSD specialist took me on as a client. It didn't make my trauma unhappen, but it gave me a way forward in life from it for the first time.

Hello, Struggling. Welcome to the forum. Sorry for what brings you here, but glad you are here.

The good news is that there are allot of things you can do to ease those symptoms. You just did one of those things when you posted here. It sure helps me to know I'm not alone with ^it^.

Gentle support while you learn more things you can do to ease the symptoms. Welcome aboard. You are not alone.

Hi there, I am sorry you were traumatized! I know you will get better in time, it takes time and comes in waves. I would say one of the things that helped me a lot is taking magnesium and ginseng. Magnesium is calming and helps get rid of anxiety and stress. Ginseng helps get rid of those sticky negative thoughts. they both truly helped me a lot! Also, helping others in trauma helped me overcome my struggle. I'm sure you have had counseling, but if not or you can't afford it, churches near you will most probably have free counseling services. praying for you. You are an over comer and will over come. <3

I have had flash backs since I was twenty all through they are very rare now they still do happen so you now completely get your old self back but you can learn to live with what happen and have a happy life

I hope you can find the comfort in this site

(((struggling))) i don't have any words that will make a difference to you, i know this so I will just put my heart here to keep you company. I am seeking similar answers here. everyone keeps telling me that sharing here will help get whats boiling around inside, contributing to my feeling horribly, out so that some healing can get in there too and start to settle my world down.
I'm hoping that's true for myself and for you. So my only contribution is to say keep writing your feelings for yourself and share here what ever you are comfortable with sharing. triple hugs
