It’s very nice of you to try to be understanding and patient. Please know that ptsd is just as confusing for the person suffering from it. There is no cure, it takes time for the person struggling to figure out their triggers and learn how to manage the way they react when they are triggered.

It takes time to find the right medications that help. Alcohol consumption isn’t really good for those struggling with ptsd. Yet those who drink are trying to escape the anxiety that can build up with ptsd. The desire is to numb self is the goal.

I am wondering what in her life has triggered her to develop these ptsd symptoms.
