I personally have rapid cylcle bipolar and PTSD i persued working on my trauma therapy while I was working and found that that was not a good idea. I could not balance out the two at all.

I am on meds but I am still in the long process of trying to figure out what meds work best for me and which do not.

being on meds helps but seeking out more help to go along with is always a good idea.

You might want to do some research about EMDR therapy and possibly Hypnotherapy i am looking into the idea of possibly doing both cause i have heard from several people they can be helpful for people suffering from severe ptsd such as you might be.
