How To Overcome PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

5. Stay Connected To People

Staying connected to loved ones is a good way to get through tough situations. Avoid being alone if needed and invite a friend or loved one to stay over until medical treatment starts to kick in. Or schedule weekly meetings with friends at a coffee shop or someplace where it is easy to talk. Recovering from PTSD is a good time to invite friends to try new hobbies. Join a softball team, a book reading club, or a bowling league to stay connected with society and avoid being alone with potentially dangerous thoughts.
