Besides diagnosed PTSD, I'm under constant extremely high stress levels. it's been a long time. and I assume I would have gotten used to it? anything that can actually help me not be constantly overwhelmed all the time?

don't want to relieve my constant trauma or traumadump. lets just say it feels like my veins are about to explode and I'm often seeking any distraction for my thoughts that are about my reality and are extremely scary.

Antidepressants and therapy.

tried different antidepressants for years, they never really worked, at least more than a month.

no amount of antidepressants can help when life is shit due to external factors.

I just want to be able to feel "normal" for like a few moments.
