I think a couple of years ago I would have answered "I rarely ask for help," because I was so used to coping and pushing myself for so much of my adult life, no matter what. But since the ptsd has really gotten a grip on me, I am getting better at asking for help - at least when I know I need help. I don't always do that as soon as I should, but I'm trying to learn.

The latest trick for me is to recognize when I need help. Before I broke down last week, I didn't even see it coming, so I'm trying to go back and take note of everything that led up to it so that I can get better at avoiding another big crash, including asking for help before it's so bad.
