Yes, it is the PTSD that is causing the anxiety and the depression. Become aware of what causes you anxiety, what makes you feel depressed. As you heal and become more aware you will find that these feelings are directly linked to your PTSD. It took me years to become aware of the fact that what I felt when using the phone was anxiety. It took me even longer to connect that to my childhood and my PTSD. Dealing with and understanding PTSD is very complex, but the longer you go on in the healing process the simpler it all becomes. PTSD, anxiety and depression are all related and one in the same, it's like unraveling a bunch of knots in a ball of yarn.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
Thanks for this!
