I think I've heard it and read it that there isn't a "cure" for PTSD but it can go in a kind of remission if you use coping strategies.

But it takes a lot of self-awareness to know what it is that is debilitating you and what it is you need to do to cope. And just when you think you've got yourself all figured out--what your issues are, and what you need to do to deal with them--and that you can start sailing smoothly, life deals out new stresses and new triggers, and even new traumas, and you have to start all over again figuring yourself out and re-evaluating your coping strategies that used to work so well.

Yeah, it's a cycle that goes round and round and I got real tired of it a looooooong time ago.
