What are your thoughts on PTSD AND TBI coping techniques?

I have been diagnosed with both also. My anxiety ramps up days before an event. I have used several types of therapy. Equine is amazing if you can find a program nearby. Another thing that produced huge change was dance lessons in very small groups (there were 4 of us, with me as the only TBI) it helped with movement, socialization at a speed I could manage and memory. I will never be a dance champion but I built enough confidence so I could do up to a 4 step combo. This took a few years with a patient teacher. The other dance students became my friends and gave me companions that knew about my injuries, when I struggled for words or to make eye contact or do two things at once. I go to familiar places or places where there will be familiar people. Really, my biggest tool to get out of the house sounds pretty silly. I put eyeliner on 1 eye. The OCD in me forces me to do the other one. I wear very little makeup; what this is: I found one action to start that was very simple. Start simple and build. Miracles don't happen overnight, so be patient with yourself. Your one thing may be opening your blinds or curtains and realizing the sun is shining. I wish you well.

They are both real and often occur together. All I can say is seek help and know I'm praying for you

I find that stress, screaming and crowds are my triggers. I find that fishing, sightseeing, going to the ocean, astrophotography and model railroading are very relaxing for me. You have to find a hobby that is both rewarding and relaxing, something that you can enjoy daily. Hope it helps.
