It's not perfect..but it has been trending in a positive direction. Fifteen years ago I was not even aware of 9/11 because I was in such a bad state. Flashbacks, nightmares, not much of a break day or night. Didn't feel I could go to family.I had left my husband so for the first time truly on my own. With the ptsd activation the depression followed all the time. I was also depressed because my body was betraying me and the medical doc thought it was all in my head. Turns out..made arrangements to go to Boston. This doc listened and solved the problem.Over the last three years if I get triggered I don't get flashbacks to talk about and the night mare med down to a prn. My life is very good now. I have people in my life who genuinely care for me and I for them. If there are certain human triggers around I make sure,I take care of me. My husband has been a great support.

You can get to this place too. It feels lots like a second chance at life and I am part of every day!
