Yes @parus, I too have PTSD. I've had it since the mid-1980s. I've been in therapy for the last seven years for depression and PTSD, and it has been a tremendous help to me. I'm finally starting to live again, I even got a part-time job as well as working from home (I am a book editor). I wish I could convince my niece to get therapy, she too has PTSD/depression and won't even consider the notion that she has it or that she needs therapy. Instead, she posts sad messages on Facebook.
I don't post all that often on here, but if you ever need anything, I hope you'll come here for support. This is a wonderful community.

yes, you are right. i have tried to help my cousin to help herself but she will not admit her faults and problems. to her it is the other persons fault and not hers. for now i leave alone until she calls me and i will be there for her.

Hello @painwarrior
Thank you for sharing your experiences and also for sharing the help that you have received. I'm glad to hear that you are now able to live a more productive life and that you are enjoying some work experiences. I agree that this is a good community for sharing your experiences with others.
Regarding helping your niece, please remember that no matter how much we would like to see people change, the only person we can change is ourselves. Your niece will have to find her own way to peace and productivity.
