Experiencing major ptsd sx's, w hypervigilance. how can i help myself feel safe? not sleeping, going crazy bc of this!

Needs to see a Doc: There are behavioral treatment that work well. Seek professional help.

Seek evaluation: Please take care of yourself by seeking out a comprehensive assessment by either a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist who is experienced in working with ptsd. Your symptoms are treatable.

PTSD: Hypervigilance is a normal response to a threat, and some of the physical sx you note are common after trauma. Is the Trazodone actually working for you?If not see your doc for med re-eval or dose change. Also if you are having severe pain have you seen a pain specialist?Many sx will resolve when the traumatic memories are neutral(this ABSOLUTELY is possible) but don't suffer in silence, see yr do

Support: I agree. A diagnostic evaluation and treatment plan is the first place to start. Establishing safety within yourself and within your environment can take some time, but tends to move along more quickly with professional guidance and the support of trustworthy others. How long it will take for you to feel safe again depends on your personality, life experiences, and your pre-trauma baseline.
