This is the first time I've been able to write under PTSD section. Well at least I think I'm going to write this. It's over a year now since I was diagnosed, I've had it for much longer, but accepting it - not going so well!!

Everyday I think I'm getting a but better and every day PTSD gets me says "Oh no you're not!!"

I used to love study, my brain used to work quite well. I decided to try studying again. I really applied myself read the first chapter of the text with active learning techniques. I thought I was doing really well until I did the end of chapter test.

I didn't retain it. I know PTSD affects your brain and your ability to remember, but I hadn't faced how much it's affecting mine.

I'm pretty upset about it!

Have any of you found any techniques to help the PTSD brain remember things again?

Thanks
