I have problems with fatigue, but I find that exercise is the best way to fight off fatigue.
PTSD is not a cause for bipolar disorder, at least not that I'm aware of.
I don't do meds, although I have been offered, pressure, cajoled, pleaded with, I prefer to manage without meds.
As far as PTSD being curable or not, it depends on what you consider to be a cure. It's manageable, I can learn better coping skills, and the "condition response" part of triggers can be calmed down, maybe eliminated. But I will always be easy to traumatize, re-traumatize, and subject to flashbacks. There are environments and certain people who will always make me feel uneasy. Still, I don't believe I have to remember all the details of the traumas (over 48 years ago) to prevent myself from freaking out when there is no need. Just take deep breaths and I start looking at the items around me, making an inventory of sorts, anything to ground myself in the present. PTSD is a disorder of time. A reaction to a memory of an event, remembered as if it were happening again in the present.
