Just a reminder for those suffering with PTSD.

It's important to realize that this can very well increase your symptoms.

With all that's going on in the world, add in the political arena that is hot right now in the USA, and PTSD can "go through the roof" with reactions.

Do good self care. Turn off the tv or radio, or put it to a non-political news channel. (The inclination is to leave it on and draw more and more and more angst from it, but not being able to get away from it. PTSD causes that.)

Keep a good check on yourself and your reactions...and take time out for you, quiet time, self care time. It's ok... the world can exist without your vigilance for a few hours.
