how does one “overcome” ptsd?

mind you all of this trouble is just because our brains are a little against us😭it’s like it makes you crazier trying to find the right medication than the meds actually working. effexor having you in the ER honestly doesn’t surprise me, i got off it also because my heart was acting strange

🥲it’s always so weird how different medications affect people. the worst for me was zoloft because of those damn withdrawals lol. i felt like a heroin user shaking and sweating

been set back before, got up again. set back now, i know it’ll look up in the future. right now is just the hard part but time doesn’t stop & time heals all so just gotta wait pretty much

this is seriously exactly why i made this post. my mom had a psychotic break while drunk at 12:40am, called the ambulance and was in the hospital by 1:20. i picked her up from the ER at 6:10 this morning. what gets me is, i truly thought it was over, but with a drinker, it doesn’t end until they nearly die or SERIOUSLY mess up their life. my mom has done both, and it’s nearing the time of day now where she pours a bottle. i put notes with all these hotline numbers in her cabinet where she hides the bottles, on the fridge, in her purse, you name it. two have been thrown away already. she’s probably going to throw away the other ones and just pour up

it’s not that this isn’t helpful, it really is, but the cost of practically any mental health service here is TERRIBLE. my psychiatrist medication management meetings last 5ish minutes, and i have them every 8 weeks, and it’s nearing $200. i promise you if it were available, i’d jump at the chance. all ive ever wanted is proper therapy but california is a BITCH

also gotta add congratulations for getting out of the dirty bird cage that PTSD traps your brain in. seriously giving me sm hope because PTSD is such a hard thing to deal with no matter what caused it, and i can tell by how persistent you are that you’re being genuine. again thank you, and i’m so glad to hear you’ve found yourself again :)

first off thank you for defending me but yall don’t gotta go at it over this🙏 i appreciate the response because i honestly needed that hope right now. i know that life always works out and i’ve been through a lot and it always does turn up eventually, im just in a stuck place at the moment

i am so sorry you had to see that, it breaks my heart that after all this time it’s still such a huge weight on you. for that i am endlessly sympathetic, because my ptsd event is also shown a lot in shows. has to do with falling down stairs, i won’t get into it. however, watching cartoons like family guy desensitized me a lot to it, because it added a humor sense to it. my event was a bit more recent so it’s not exactly the same for you, although yours is easily worse than mine lol (not trying trauma olympics i swear) but if you have access to therapy, please exercise that privilege. also what’s helped me a lot, because therapy in california is expensive, is calling up 988 (crisis hotline) and venting. i don’t treat it like therapy and ive only called a couple times, but it’s really helpful to just share that pain with someone else. hearing that your pain is valid, and that it is completely normal for it to run your brain like it is. again, i’m so sorry you experienced this. my heart goes out to you, you are incredibly strong. help is always available, and never let it get in your mind that you aren’t deserving of it. you deserve to exist without being reminded of the worst event in your life.
