but it was very worth it. As has been said, you need a really good therapist to guide you, and you will be glad you did it. And very important to repeat from the post above - unlike before, YOU are in control now.
Guess I am afraid of what could happen if I cannot handle the stress it causes...stress is not something I handle well, and unfortunately I don't really have any friends/family who get how PTSD really effects or know how to be supportive...sometimes they stress me out more even un-intentionally.

So just worried about being alone with it between sessions and what not, I mean I have attempted suicide even before the event that caused the PTSD...and since then I've had to have myself admitted to the psych ward due to concerning suicidal thoughts twice and being overwhelmed/stressed was a major factor triggering that so its a concern. I suppose I can talk to the therapist who I'd be working with about that concern before delving into the therapy methods though. Not sure if it is a really good therapist though, its just the one they have through the program I have regular therapy through...so seems like it could be a hit or miss.
