so sorry for what you are going thru. you need some kind of "Brakes" that work to slow down your physiological response. i am a believer in SNRI's for PTSD as they work best on anxiety at 2 levels. then i agree that some regular talk therapy about your views of yourself and of life could help you get empowered more to address the trauma without drowning in symptoms.

i know what it is like to feel like you are in the fight of your life (for the SECOND time), and i also know that you can get to the other side as so many survivors have. you will persevere with good help and support, and then you will turn the corner. with trauma the recovery is not a gradual improvement over time like depression. it is hard work straight through until one day you know you've turned the corner. your energy improves, you begin to see a future again, you have fewer symptoms and they are briefer, and you can help others succeed as you have. you can do this, at your pace, and in your time. best to you.
