lostgman is right, it is great that you are still going forward with your life. I am impressed because I know PTSD can make it more challenging. I am not the same either, I have to go easy with the reading too. I find I get tired faster now when I read, however it "is" relaxing if you don't "pressure" yourself.

Yes, less is better, because it will mean less stress. It really takes time to gain more control over the PTSD, so be patient with yourself.
