I think the ptsd is getting worse again. It was supposed to get better with time.

But no. The nightmares are back. The sudden palpitations are back. The flashbacks have returned. It's not safe in my head. I am emotionally heightened and exhausted at the same time. The tiniest of things are triggering my anger and the weeping spells and the feeling of helplessness. It's all back like fresh wounds.

It could mean a breakthrough is on the horizon. My PTSD has been really bad, affecting most of my life. I'll occasionally go through what you've described. I've found some of those times signal a readiness to take on new work and to move through something that's been working on me for a long time.

Some things I've found to be helpful, are talk therapy, exercise, the right foods, meditation, rest and opening up to trusted friends who truly love you. And, if you can find hugs, take all you can get.

This actually pretty well describes how I've been 😅

Did anything happen recently? Is anyone in your life stressing you out?

Another thing you might want to look into is CBT.
