I have PTSD which broken down means I have chronic depression with major depressive episodes, panic attacks and very high anxiety. Medication has helped me the most. Without medication I couldn't even begin to learn and work at self help techniques.

I have found that even with meds and good self help skills I still am not able to deal with stress very well at all. When I let too much stress start building up in my life I end up feeling as you describe. If I let that go on for too long I end up in a paranoid delusional state - acting and talking very crazy.

Maybe the right meds, then learning self help skills and constantly keeping your stress level as low as possible will help you also. I hope you find something that works. I'm here if you need me.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,

But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
