I have problems with fatigue, but I find that exercise is the best way to fight off fatigue. 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.

Yes, I agree about exercise plus vitamins like B-12 and a good sleep schedule. Actually, my therapist told me that ptsd left untreated can evolve into many other mental health issues like bipolar. I have another friend who is a therapist and no matter what her clients are having a problem with she first asks about trauma in their life. I guess without trauma it would have to be purely genetic and that's not common. And she said trauma is something that a client almost never brings into the conversation. The only medication I was given for ptsd was prazosin which I quit because of the side effects. What has helped me is since I got sober Jan 2013 I always freaking cry in therapy. It sucks but it really is cathartic lol. I blacked out long periods of times, and I agree with you that those memories are better left unknown. When I feel a trigger it usually makes me cry, but I am crying less and less as I open up in therapy. For the past 20 yrs when therapy was uncomfortable I just quit. Now, I am trying to work through the pain. Next to sobriety it's the hardest thing I've done in my life. I have an excellent therapist. When I told the past 10 therapists I felt survivor's guilt over my brother's death they interjected with oh you were just a child and there was nothing you could have changed blah blah blah and lets move on. Finally my therapist did not say that she listened and acknowledged my grief. I felt that for the first time someone finally validated my grief and that's a start.
