legsie, support from friends is so important. is there a victim assistance program through your local law enforcement? they could turn you on to a group for peer support. having understanding ears listen to your story could feel pretty good.
Or if you have a women's crisis/intervention organization nearby, they might have on sight groups for women who are dealing with PTSD that you could join.

Do you meditate, do deep breathing, have routines of calming self talk? Learning how to take care of yourself while you're thinking clearly can help you cope when the poopoo hits.
