I only have an "episode" when I am directly threatened physically. This is true for many people with real PTSD. We don't all fall to pieces over "triggers".

You can make yourself less triggery.

Avoid stimulants, including caffeine and herbal stimulants, sugar. alcohol, and nicotine.

Increase your cardiovascular conditioning. If you are sedentary begin by walking. If you are fit, go get a trainer. A fifth degree blackbelt and police sergeant told me this.

Martial arts training can be wonderfully beneficial.

Stabilise your blood sugar. Don't fast or skip meals. Eat protein and complx carbs three or six times a day, don't eat junk.

OExplore body based therapies for PTSD. Peter Levine has beautiful books and an excellent audio book. David Berceli has a very simple but very effective set of exercises you can do alone with no training besides reading his book. Read taobums thread on it. Look up Mikal Vega. He is a retired Navy Seal. I bet he knows more about ptsd than everyone who reads this thread combined. He says kundalini yoga brought him around. His website is a good place to start looking for a cure for.real ptsd.

Meditation won't hurt you. Any kind will work. Mantra meditation has got me through bad bad moments. There's nothing mystical about it, it just calms the nervous system. Singing lullabyes will work as well, but you must train regularly.

Do your own research. If you want to get better, you can. I wish you well.
