Finding a support group may be a helpful adjunct to individual pharmaceutical and psychological treatments. It can sometimes to help to be around other people who "get" what it's like to live and cope with PTSD on a daily basis. Your doctor or current therapist is a place to start for a referral. Checking out what an organization like NAMI or Mental Health America offers in your area may be an option too. They host local support groups and may have something in your area or the local chapter may be able to point you in the right direction.

The ADAA (Anxiety and Depression Association) also has many resources about PTSD on their site as well as educational tools, help finding a clinician, etc. https://www.adaa.org/

Stay strong, and best of luck to you, @rsinger22.
