Big hugs to you, Amy, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I also have PTSD and can relate to your experience. Talk with us anytime you want here.

The shelter might actually turn out to be great, and my guess is that you'll find some good with the bad, and that this too shall eventually pass. Things will change and eventually smooth out for you.

If you like, some thoughts on what has helped me in similiar situations: forcing myself to remember the basics, like eating as regularly and as often as I can. Keeping myself hydrated. Jotting down thoughts and lists in a journal.
