What are some of your coping mechanisms skills that you use on a daily basis in dealing with PTSD and PTG?

To reduce anxiety imagine you are at the range. Every target is a stressor. Prioritize your targets or stressors by the closest to the furthest. You will find that some of the stressors are irrelevant to your life. This firing pattern will allow you to prioritize instead of thinking of all the targets or stressors at the same time. I hope this helps and makes sense.

Get a full time job even if its 3rd shift.

At my age I cope by isolation. I know THEY all say not to do that but it works for me. I am just fine living alone and not having any relationships with anyone. I am most at peace when just by myself. I do have a dog and she is my best friend. I was treated at the VA for chronic PTSD for almost 5 years and I still see my shrink there every 4 months. I would say to younger men and women go and get all of the help you can and I hope you can find something that helps.
