 My post traumatic stress disorder is acting up

Do you have a safe space or person? Maybe some comfort items or activities? Have you tried breathing techniques?
Hoping you find peace. I struggle with PTSD as well ❤️🩹
It only happens on the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve because I was in a shooting situation in Pittsburgh five years ago and it triggered post traumatic stress disorder. What happens is loud noises like fireworks or gunshots send me right into an anxiety attack and that’s after taking medicine for anxiety.
Been there done that from a near death experience that incidentally did involve alcohol. Struggled with PTSD for several years, but it did subside, although I still have bouts of depression and anxiety.
