Even with meds though I still have some symptoms, just not as severe. For me it is a matter of the right meds, therapy when needed due to too many life stressors, and then me just doing good things for myself like getting enough sleep, exercise, eating well, etc. If I do all that together I usually do okay, I can function fairly well. But the PTSD is always there to a greater or lesser extent.

Dear Pomegranate,
Yes I am on meds, including anxiety meds and depression meds, but I dont know yet if they have the right combo going yet. The depression is good for a while, and then Ill fall into a deep hole out of nowhere. I dont sleep very well at all even with the meds they give me for that, its like every 3 days Ill finally sleep well. I will of course still keep going to therapy but I guess I could tell her that the symptoms of the PTSD are bothering me to a poiint that I am seeking out help from my friends at P.C.
Sincerely,
Roxy
