MJo , thank you for putting this "out there"!
Like KDR my PTSD was diagnosed prior to BC, a result of being assaulted by a stranger who tried to kill me(1990) and subsequent episodes of robbery and harassment in the workplace.
Over the years I coped with meds and staying close to home.
It wasn't until after treatment And the concurrent death of my Mom (to BC)& Hurricane Katrina that my PTSD began to push me further into my cocoon.
Uninsured, unemployed and not sure when the next shoe will drop , but plodding forward through life finding joy when I can.
Keep talking and looking for the professional help that will help you cope!
Much love, marcia
