PTSD?

Any experience out there?

I started reading about it a few days ago. I keep having flashbacks, or brain videos running through my head of some very traumatic times I lived through (barely) when I was in Calif, along with many of the other symptoms. Most people equate PTSD with war veterans, but looks like it effects many others with horrific experiences. On top of my existing bipolar, its a problem. I have not talked to my doctor about it (a GP), no therapists available around here (except for you guys).

I'd like to hear how others deal with it. Please don't suggest pot.
