A few days ago I had quite a major relapse of my PTSD symptoms. It was triggered by recent family events, especially something that happened this past Sunday. I know I'm being vague, but I'm not ready to talk about it right now. Those of you who know my family situation probably have an idea of what I'm referring to...
I feel better than I did on Sunday, but it's still quite difficult. I am not sleeping well, I'm spacing out a lot of the time, old nightmares have returned and I'm startling easily. At the same time, I have children to take care of, so there's not much opportunity to rest, reflect, etc.
I did make an appointment to see my old therapist for a couple of sessions, so I will be seeing her shortly. I'm interested in any other suggestions people may have for me. I know a lot of the techniques for dealing with triggers, but I've never had to use them while taking care of kids.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
