Recovering or coping with any condition includes being as active as possible. If you can walk, get out and walk, even if it is for a short distance, you will feel better.

Mental Health

This is a general PTSD support chat. There are very few issues that are off topic because PTSD is such a broad issue. We do request that people do not discuss the actual traumas that caused the PTSD in order to avoid triggering episodes. The purpose of this chat is to discuss coping skills and general living issues after developing PTSD. This chat is pretty informal.

Remember, breathe as evenly and deeply as possible when you are experiencing PTSD symptoms. The first thing we tend to do during these episodes is forget to breathe. It is also a good idea to practice regular deep breathing every day. Remembering becomes easier over time.
