Seek guidance: If you have to ask, you have something that you could benefit from talking with someone about. PTSD is not a sentence to a life of disability or helplessness. All of us take some hits from life, which is famously unfair, and many of us thrive and find happiness despite this. There are ways of managing intrusive memories, feelings of helplessness, and living without being a slave to triggers.
