I had the same issue when I was hospitalized, my PTSD increased due to some issues there. One thing that did help, besides my incredibly awesome psychologist - is I did a 4 week Partial In-patient. It was more general based, but did help some. Was there 5 hours a day, people were great and there were many resources available. It is individualized.

Meds are tricky, I am on Lamictal, Zoloft and Klonopin. It works, but they can't increase the Zoloft because it makes me manic if they do. I am usually mixed states, but mania has been dominate lately. and I have psychotic features when I am manic - so it's a whole big mess. I have had to explain to my drs that even though I have suicidal ideations (to me it's normal anymore), usually it's not that I really want to die, I just want it all the just stop. I am tired of being "sick." When i'm manic I tend to get tattoos, fighting the urge now, since it's been a decent 2 week run so far this time.

I am working with Psychologist now about the PTSD, and she is ruthless. I love her to death, she gives me homework for next time I see her and she does check to make sure I am staying on track.
