I need help coping with PTSD

I need help coping with PTSD. If anybody is reading this, please give me advice. I have nausea related to the PTSD I got from being robbed. There are no real resources which can help me.

I am afraid to seek counseling. Some counselors and therapists will just assume I am making up my suffering. I don't really get very emotional when I talk about my problems with people. I have even been accused of being a liar by past counselors due to the fact that I'm not crying my eyes out when I seek help. I also had bad experiences where the counselors didn't give me advice and would ask nonstop questions without being interested in my answers. I felt that the counselors were only trying to keep me talking without admitting that they had no clue how to help me.

Any advice on coping with PTSD would be very helpful. Please leave notes with your advice. No hateful words needed. No bullies. I am on the verge of vomiting due to my PTSD symptoms. I am also having dizzy spells.

…then if counselors don’t work, maybe look for a group , where they sit in a circle and each tells their story. In that group you might find someone with similar feelings , who understands and then two people testimonies are more believable to a counselor then that of one. I would look for something in a group of similar events thing rather than one on one counseling 🤔🤔🤔

I think, one more forum where they talk about PTSD is

alonelylife.com

Maybe there someone can say something too🤔

@SW-User i can't find any right now. Most of the groups I were in were hostile. Like I mentioned before, I was wrongly accused of lying for attention. I prefer group settings even though there are few places which accept groups where I am.
