I don't get as many flashbacks as I use to. The nightmares are still frequent, but nothing like they use to be. General stress, apprehension, and anger are the main symptoms I deal with now. I don't drive often because then I do deal with flashbacks and panic attacks quite frequently. If I do drive it's only a 10-minute drive to the store and a road I am very familiar with. That happens very rarely.

This is very tough still.
Do you have a dog? Apparently, they can be very helpful in a situation like that.
I've requested one and the VA did not have the funds at the time I requested them. It's been over a year since I've used them for anything. They only want to pump you up with pharmaceuticals and I've tried that before and have no desire to again.
