How do I deal with days where I want to go out but *something* stops me... I was never comfortable around people much but a trip to the store never used to trigger anything.

Since a bad bout with PTSD triggered a mental break complete with paranoia, I'm still kind of not liking public places. Once I get out I'm ok... It's getting me out. I can do work, but going to work I still can be hyper vigilant. It isn't passing like I thought it would. It's like I'm ruined.

Does anyone have any help? I will talk to my therapist about this tomorrow. I'd like to go for walks etc...but both places with people and empty places still trigger panic reactions, even if the paranoia is gone. I don't know why.

Hello, nummy. I hope your therapist has more coping skills for you.

I wish you well.

I hope so but she hasn't been helpful . Very sad nobody seems to understand.

nummy, you might need to find another therapist who can be more helpful with PTSD.
