Prayer concerning my PTSD

[kat5412]

So i have PTSD. It isnt from military work...just from a lot of abuse. Anyway...i have been dealing with Chronic or Complex PTSD since late September of 2013. Night terrors, extreme anxiety and panic attacks, flashbacks, sleepwalking and disassociation (when i wake up i dont know where im at, the date, or my who my husband is). It was pretty bad up until February or march. Ive had a few months where i havent had any issues...but lately its getting pretty bad again. Not being able to focus on the present and constantly having to remind myself that the flashbacks im seeing and experiencing are from the past. Its been so hard to keep fighting and pushing my self to keep on fighting. Im really depressed and suicidal and worn out. I cant get the treatment i need because money is really tight and i dont have the money even to pay for health insurance ($500/mo). Please pray for me...that God will move in my life in this situation...and for my husband...that he will have the emotional and physical strength he needs to take care of me and the patience and endurance to go down this road with me. Thank you so much for your time in reading this and for the prayers.

I've had PTSD. I was not diagnosed, I didn't need to be. I went through some severe trauma for a few years. My nervous system is still delicate.

Some suggestions:

Don't read or watch the news unless it is uplifting.

Walk outside.

Seek quiet.

Stay away from toxic people.

Eat nutritious food.

I wish you well. You can do it.

I will also be praying for you. There are ministry based Christian counselors who operate on a basis where you pay them what you can afford. I urge you to seek out this kind of Christian counseling.

Counseling may or may not help. I went to 4 counseling sessions and felt like I just left with a big bill. I took very little away from it. For me, it just took time and taking care of myself and sometimes, ignoring well meaning advice.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and advice. Im going to be calling a doctor monday to set up an appointment to refill my medications and refer me to a psychiatrist to help keep my meds regulated. As far as counseling goes, im going to wait till my meds get me balanced bc talking about things causes more issues...but in the long run does help. Hopefully ill get some help that way soon.
