My T has also compared my PTSD to a physical disability. I think it helped me have more compassion for myself. I try to see dealing with my symptoms as accommodating the disability. As you say, building relationships is hard but also healing. When I get scared and have to back off, I try to see it as part of the disability rather than a personal failing.

May I ask what meds you're on? I also suffer from night terrors but my antidepressants don't help that much.

Yeah, anti-ds did not help me at all. I am on a large dose of Trazodone to sleep. But I don't have night terrors--
junkDNA's suggestion of Prazosin might be good for that.
