Our mental health can very much affect our phyiscal health, the two are intertwined.

I was diagnoised with PTSD when I was 15 after a traumatic car accident, but after working with my T and we looked back on my child hood and the abuse I experinced from a releative, she is under suspcison I have had PTSD for many more years, from behaviors I had as a child that people told me about, to behaviors and fears I have today that are ingrained in me.

I don't think PTSD goes away, I think it is something that stays with us, however you can learn to manage the symtpoms and live a healthy life. I will always have a startle response, I am always going to be jumpy when my anxeity is high, and other issues related to the PTSD.

But I have learned to handle those in healthy ways and the PTSD does not control my life anymore, through therapy I have learned how to properly handle my responses and manage my PTSD so I can live a happy healthy life. Grounding skills, healthy coaping skills, having a mental health team, and a support network are all very important in learning to deal with and manage PTSD or any mental illness.

It isn't going to get better on it's own, it won't just disapear with time, it takes work with a therapist and sometimes medication to learn to control the effects of PTSD.

There are many therapy options for PTSD, and for warning, it isn't easy work, it can be emotionally draining and at times you will wonder if it is getting worse vs. better.

But you have to go through the darkness to get to the light, it is a journey well worth taking.

I urge you to please seek professional help with your PTSD the symptoms will only worsen in time and the more it is left untreated.
