(((Here we go again))), there is a lot going on right now that is SO UNHEALTHY. For someone who has ptsd it can get down right overwhelming. And for a veteran struggling with ptsd much of what is being aired on TV and on the net can be very triggering.
Is your husband home? He probably doesnt even know how to get help for what he is experiencing. It would be helpful if he could at least have a presence he could talk to. He may need medication like Clonazapam to help him until things begin to calm down. Is he drinking?
He needs to distance from anything that can trigger him. If he can't cry or feel it's not a bad thing. He needs to stay away from all media right now too. The media is very unhealthy and too emotionally charged right now. Lots of people are struggling to connect. He doesnt have to see his challenge as crazy, a lot of people are genuinely struggling with all that is going on. There is a lot of unrest and instability right now and everyone is feeling it on some level.
