what is the best way to deal with P T S D

I never know when it is going to hit until Ive lived the the he** again.

How do you relax? Do you know it is coming?

breathing and acupuncture and massages for me, try qigong, keeps you in now. i write a lot also, just started couple months ago.

Meditation, Yoga, Journaling, Breathing exercises, Learning what triggers you is important to know. Yes these are some of the things i do and they have helped me tremendously. Talking is another and getting these feeling out in the open can really help you including you own family. There are also meny good book out there about PTSD.

Each person in individual in how they cope and what their needs are in battling the PTSD symptoms. There are different methods for the different triggers too. The way that I made sense of it was to identify each symptom separately. I used what is referred to as a 'Panic Pizza'.

Although this is for panic I have found it to be helpful.
