I never had ptsd, i had bpd.
Having got over my "condition", I can only say make sure you are happy that your psychologist/psychiatrist UNDERSTANDS YOU AND YOUR PROBLEM. My experience was that my first Pdoc wasted 2 years of my life and a fist full o dollars and helped me none.
My 3rd pdoc understood me and my problem and was able to guide me through the most difficult experience of my life.
I don't know about ptsd, but my depression anxiety was a subcontious decision. I had to conciously undo that decision. And just thinking about that time now, breaks me emotionally. It was the toughest thing i had ever done. I had to let go of every defense mechanism my mind had created and HAVE FAITH. Faith in the people around you and faith in your Pdoc. You cannot rely on yourself because that is the problem. You are defending yourself against a percieved threat that is no longer there. You have to retrain your mind to trust.
This may sound easy, but i felt i would die if i let go. I let go and i never died.
