Maintaining your work in getting yourself to a level that can operate, and function within normal society, can be taxing, but it is important that you do so, or you will slide back to heavy depression, anxiety and anger outbursts again. Some factors that could assist you are:
Counselling, support and programs
Phone and chat with othes who have PTSD
Spouses, family and friends through talking
Support forums and groups
RSL's
DVA, VVCS, VVAA, ACPMH
Vetline and lifeline
TPI and Peace Keepers associations
Setting goals, daily activities and tasks
Breathing and relaxation time
Sidestep taxing situations
Eat healthy, good diet and drink in moderation only
Listen to others, hone listening skills (reflective listening)
Compromise
Leave the past in the past, and attempt to move to the future
Partners associations
Give yourself "me" time
Your world hasn't changed, so adapt
Volunteer work
Alcoholics Anonymous, Gambling Anon and Sexual Abuse Anon
There are a miriad of online and offline support for you, so use it. If you have PTSD from childhood trauma, then you may need to also seek groups out for childhood trauma, as well as PTSD.
