A little bit ago I had my hands on my head thinking I can't do this,I can't go through this again,but I very quickly thought yes I can,I will get through this like I always do.It's the PTSD trying to tell me otherwise.
My entire body feels like it's vibrating internally,I feel like I need to escape,I feel so unsafe,like I need to start running away.
I just have to ride it out.

Ride it out and practice the self care
You are right the negative emotions that feel so normal will try to sway you from doing as you have done before. Really it's easier to do so, but not helpful towards healing and that's our goal.
