Hello,
im in a difficult situation with lots of triggers from ptsd. Disconnected and my anxiety is terrible. My strategies don’t really work. Just counting the days and trying to fight the urges but I’m really tired of it all.

That's not good to hear @petrichor
Do you have any appointments coming up with your mental health team? Or have you reached out to someone already? There's also the SANE Help Centre https://www.sane.org/counselling-support
I hope you can find something that helps you improve. I'm here today for anything you want to talk about.
